"By Barbara Henry. Taking the outline given in Titus 2:3-5, this Bible study encourages women in the skills of mentoring, discipleship, and spiritual direction. It is designed to equip women to speak truth to those who are younger, breaking through barriers in order to deal with difficult questions women face in the 21st Century. 256 pages. 12 chapters." Woman to Woman takes the outline given in Titus 2:3-5 and searches Scripture to find specific direction and content for a guide to discipleship for women. The purpose of the book is to provide a resource for women who desire to minister to others. It is designed to encourage and equip women to speak truth to those who are younger; breaking through barriers in order to deal with difficult questions women face in the 21st century. Rather than offering another set of answers from one woman's perspective, this study takes each woman to passages of Scripture, helping her discover what God is saying to her personally, without skirting the deeper issues. Although the study is ideal for group discussions, it can easily be adapted to individual study use or one-on-one mentoring. The first four chapters look at the four qualifications for women in ministry: a priestly lifestyle, a commitment to confidentiality, freedom from addictions and an appreciation for beauty and the ability to teach it. Younger women may take this study to learn what they are to seek in an older woman mentor and be better prepared to minister to others. Each of the remaining chapters takes one of the topics Paul identifies as important for women and seeks to develop a biblical foundation for understanding and training. Topics include guidelines for loving husbands and children, developing sound minds and pure hearts, and becoming keepers of the home.
