The big day has finally arrived, when my newest ”baby” was delivered to my front door. Yes, I now have copies of Divas in Disguise: Finding the True Diva in You! And it’s so cute! It’s small, so it’s just the right size for throwing in your purse or bag without getting in the way.

So what will you find in this cute little book? Stories of 30 women from the Bible and the kinds of things we can still learn from them today. Think peer pressure, jealousy or selfishness are new? Not a chance — they’ve been around for thousands of years, even in the Bible. Think you have nothing in common with Eve in the Garden or Eden or the Queen of Sheba traveling to meet King Solomon? You might be more alike than you realize!

Each day looks at a different woman, what happened to her, and how she fits in with our life today. You’ll also see where you can find her whole story in the Bible and will have a journaling-type question to think about. The week ends with 4 questions that tie back to the women you’ve just read about — how they were alike, how they were different, what they wanted vs. what they got, that sort of thing. It’s the kind of book you can read alone or go through with friends and use the questions to jumpstart group discussion.

Ready for more? Hop over to www.leighdelozier.com to read a sample devotional on the Books page. And if you want your own copy, check it out through Amazon or Target online (Barnes and Noble did have it online, but it was gone when I checked earlier today; not sure what’s up with that, but maybe they’re changing the status from ‘pre-order’ to ‘available’ …) .

If you read it, I would love to hear what you think and whether you plan to use it with friends. I hope you’ll see that the women from the Bible aren’t always as far away and out of touch with the 21st century as you might think!
