Description

Dare to be Rare is an American phrase that means 'dare to be different', or more freely translated perhaps, 'be yourself' - the person that God created you to be.Don't let the Americanisms put you off from what should be a rewarding book for younger women - an underpublished area in Christian terms.Taking Romans 12.2 as its inspiration, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, you may prove the will of God, what which is good, acceptable and perfect", the book dares women to explore critical issues in their lives such as self-esteem, courage, honesty, identity through the lens of scripture and experience, and offers the positive message that we are all loved and valued by God.The author is certainly someone that dares to be rare. She is also a woman of faith and courage who has overcome cancer and still finds time to preach the Word and raise a family.This book is great for personal use, but perhaps ideally suited for small groups that can be formed from fellow church goers. Go on, give this book a try and you too can "Dare to be Rare!"
