 It is 1 a.m. and I just read the first chapter of Lisa Troyer’s new book, A Place to Belong and I can't wait to read more. I thought a little reading might put me to sleep... now I just want to read the entire book. Thanks Lisa, I've got a 6 a.m flight in the morning, thanks a lot!

A Place To Belong is a REAL book for REAL women with REAL lives.Every page has spoken powerfully to my heart as a woman, a wife, a mom, a friend, a mentor, and a ministry leader. Lisa’s book will be oneof those cherished reads that I will refer to for the rest of my life. Lisa, thank you for being willing to bring words of healing and encouragement “for such a time as this.” I KNOW that lives will be touched, changed and challenged to become the authentic women of God that He calls us to be.

A Place to Belong is water for the parched soul.  Women long to be loved and accepted, to be able to share the deepest parts of themselves, and to discover that divine purpose that moves them to action.  With honesty and understanding, Lisa Troyer will lead you along that life-changing journey.

Reading A Place to Belong is like sitting down for coffee with a close friend, knowing she's going to be completely honest with you. Author Lisa Troyer does an elogquent job affirming the power women have to carry Christ to each other. She calls us as women to use that power, to dare to leave our comfort zones, the havens of false safety we've built for our hearts, and come out into the open—to be our authentic selves as we reach out to one another, real and completely naked, knowing we are totally safe and eternally loved. This is a wonderful book for friends and women's groups to share, using it to encourage our growth as individuals, as friends, and as Christ's followers.

-Ellyn Sanna, Executive Editor of Anamchara Books and author of All Shall Be Well
  
 

As a woman who understands pain, guilt and depression, Lisa bears her soul in this heartwarming guide to finding one’s place to belong. She uses the often-overlooked women of Scripture as references and provides detailed instruction on how the modern-day woman can begin a ministry of healing, affirmation and camaraderie. Her transparency will motivate the fearful, comfort the regretful and inspire the hopeful to find relief and significance in her own Circle of Friends!
