About the book
In Jesus Approaches, What Contemporary Women Can Learn About Healing, Freedom & Joy from the Women of the New Testament," award-winning Minnesota author Elizabeth Kelly shares vivid stories of New Testament women whose encounters with Jesus freed them to flourish in life. The stories are supplemented with moving accounts from her own life, and from the lives of women like you, to demonstrate that sometimes the best way to find healing, strength, and wholeness in Christ is, ironically, to lead with vulnerability and openness. Ultimately, Jesus Approaches teaches that finding the fullness of life for which you were created begins with bringing your brokenness to the Lord. Liz Kelly writes of some of the named and unnamed women during the time of Jesus and the Apostles."
