the dark side of women: a time to reflect and unite

This book is a reflection and a guide for women who want to face the truth. If you want to know why women do what they do, and make sure that you are not that villain who causes tumult in the house, on the job, at the church, in others relationships and in your own relationships, then you would want to read this book. This book is for women who are serious about looking at oneself in the mirror. This book is not for those who are in denial or wanting to point the finger at someone else. Perhaps you say, "Well I've never been envious or jealous of anyone," or I've never connived my way in anything." I encourage you to read on and see if you don't find yourself. Even if you have never ever done anything to attack or hurt someone intentionally, maybe you have been a victim, or you may have been a bystander and knew what was going on and did nothing, or perhaps you are the villain. The key is reflecting and admitting to which role you played. There is a biblical and spiritual side to thjis book. We will review what the Bible has to say and look at stories of women in the Bible and how they had to deal with their own "dark side". My prayer is that everyone who reads this book will bet better once they finished and truly do a soul searching and purging of anything that is from the "dark side" lingering in their heart or mind.
