Sharon Jaynes

"We women today face many struggles and challenges trying desperately to balance our varied roles and responsibilities. If you're like me, you're looking for peace in the chaos of life, perspective among the cultural clattering that daily bombards us, and purpose that brings true fulfillment. I've discovered there's only one place to find peace - it's God peace; there is only one place to find a proper perspective - it's God's truth; and only one place to find true fulfillment - in discovering God's purpose for my life.

​

One of my greatest joys has been having the privilege of watching God change women's lives: setting the captive free, mending broken hearts, or opening the eyes of a new believer for the very first time. Whether it is a person's first experience with the Savior or a seasoned saint growing deeper in her faith, my passion is to tell women about the truth that will set them free to be all that God has intended for them to be in Him (John 8:32; John 10:10).

​

My prayer for each life that I have the privilege of touching is "that they will be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:2-3).

When You Don’t Like Your Story

What if Your Worst Chapters Could Become Your Greatest Victories

You are more than the part of your story that you hate the most.

Bestselling author, cofounder of Girlfriends in God, and writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries
Sharon Jaynes reveals the secret to living a better story: understanding that the worst arts of our past are the very things God uses
most.

Many people don’t like the story God is writing in their lives. The mistakes, failures, tragedies, and circumstances outside of our control

linger in our minds and hold us back. How do we come to grips with the pieces of our stories that we wish weren’t there? How do we silence
the pain of what has been done to us and the shame of what we’ve allowed to be done through us?

In When You Don’t Like Your Story, Bible teacher Sharon Jaynes shows us how God untangles our most painful emotions with the fingers of
grace, putting his redemption on display. In the hardest parts of our narratives, we get to see God’s greatest work–and this changes the
ending of our stories. As we overcome shame, offer forgiveness, and use our stories to help others, we find freedom from the past and learn
to live in the restoration of the present.

Your worst chapters can become your greatest victories! Stop picking at emotional scabs and start allowing God to heal your wounds;
Forgive others so their mistakes can’t imprison you any longer; Break free from the shame of the past to live free in the redemption of the present;
and see how God can use your story to give others the courage to hope again.

​

What has been done to you and what has been done through you does not disqualify you from God’s best for your life. It qualifies you for an
even greater purpose than you would have ever known without it. In fact, the worst parts of your story might just be what God uses the
most. So sink deep into God’s life-changing truths. The next chapter is just beginning.

Take Hold of the Faith You Long ForLet Go, Move Forward, Live Bold

On the outside, many women are well-put-together Christians with trendy shoes, beautiful children, and wide, white smiles. On the inside, those same women are little girls cowering at the edge of the playground, hoping no one notices them, yet still wishing they could join in. They've professed faith and know the right things, but they struggle to truly take hold of the life more abundant; that Jesus offers.

Instead they settle for a life that's less than what God has promised them. 

​

In this liberating book, Sharon Jaynes reveals the most common reasons women get stuck with a mediocre, mundane faith. Then she shows women how to break free and move forward, leaving behind the feelings of inferiority, inadequacy, and insecurity that are holding them hostage. She uncovers untapped sources of confidence and courage, equipping women to move from knowing the truth to actually believing it--and living it out boldly in a life marked by true freedom.

A Sudden Glory

God’s Lavish Response to Your Ache for Something More Do you long for something more in your relationship with God?
 
The good news is that “something more” does not mean “doing more.” God is not waiting for you to get your spiritual life “right.” He wants
to be with you right where you are.

​

The real question is not “What does God want from you?” but “What does God want for you?” 

 

Sharon Jaynes understands what it’s like to have a “glory ache”—a longing to experience God’s presence on a daily basis. She also knows
how easily working for God can get in the way of intimacy with God. And she’s discovered that we tend to make our faith journey much too
hard.  
 
In A Sudden Glory, Sharon uses Scripture and story to help you erase the line between your “spiritual life” and your “daily life” as you enter
the sanctuary of God’s presence even in the middle of your busy, messy day.

 

Here you will find your eyes opened to moments of sudden glory in which the Creator assures you of His love as you live and move and have your being in Him. Here you will discover true freedom—the freedom of experiencing God in a deeper and more intimate way than ever before.

 

• Includes Bible study and discussion guide.
