Book excerpt: A passionate call for Christian women to effectively "wield the sword" of their God-given feminine strength against any evil that threatens them and those they love. What if you discovered you have been entrusted with an invisible, invincible, and incorruptible weapon? Would you use it? In a day of worldwide trafficking, gendercide, discrimination, and other hostility against women, Lisa Bevere points to a biblical foundation to present a model of feminine strength that will empower women to live confidently. Drawing on the many references to swords throughout Scripture, the author constructs a revealing and compelling female paradigm that will impact every area of a woman's self identity, spiritual awareness, relationships, and life vision and mission. Long known for her passionate and articulate expression of biblical womanhood, Bevere presents fresh imagery--as enticing and strong as polished steel--to prepare women boldly for the challenges they face in today's world. It's not enough to just be wise and strong: Now a woman must know how to wield her sword. Creatively forging the imagery of swords, the Word of God, and the Cross, Girls with Swords will teach you: • How to speak the language of heaven on earth • What it means to intercede • What it means to carry your cross • What it means to be discerning • How to disarm the enemy • Why women are the enemy’s target—and why God needs them to be heroes It’s time to take up your sword and be a hero.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world collapsed around me. The Nazis evolved sadistically the more supremacy and territory they acquired. Hitler, who is now indecipherably living yet again, is leading the Nazi superpower into the world of tomorrow with a malevolent genocidal campaign; as millions of Nazis, clad in revolutionary war armor, are recruited by proclaiming their faithfulness to him and his vindictive crusade, they're turned into a militaristic force used to eradicate the 'impurities, ' or non-Nazi. The resistance has ascended through the ashes, hoping to reverse the lunacy Hitler's Nazis have wrought upon the world. As the fascists call us, 'filth, ' they wish to eradicate every last one of us and carve the new world for which they can alter our omissions and expunge our impotent legacies. I'm in the heart of the calamity, with a squad that was formerly supposed to cease the Nazi threat before it advanced into an inexorable force that would eventually resurrect Hitler, but we were too late. Now our self-resolution in this bloodied-skies apocalypse is to eliminate Hitler and end the war, even as the Nazis are slowly polishing the globe free of the 'filth' and beginning to sculpt their ideality for the perfect world. Welcome to the Future.
