Some battles we choose, others choose us. The world is looking and waiting for a company of women who will rise in the midst of hard times. It would be so much easier to sit…to give in. And, yet, isn’t there a part inside us all that longs to stand up and fight the battles before us? From her best-selling books, God Chicks and Daily Steps for GodChicks, Holly Wagner identified and encouraged the cultivation of aspects of the God Chick within every woman. The subject of this exciting book is the “Warrior Chick” who realizes she is destined to be an overcomer as she faces challenges, is encouraged as she realizes she is beautiful just the way she is, and is relieved as she learns how to equip herself to fight the fight. As Holly well knows from her experience as a warrior chick battling breast cancer, we aren’t living in peacetime and we can either choose to be a casualty or a warrior. What’s it going to be?

August 01, 2009: The author does make some good points and reference scripture to support her "cheerleading," but I was hoping for a meal and got an appetizer instead. There is a LOT of whitespace and it's loaded with short sentences or fragments that make up a paragraph. The conversational style is extremely easy to read, but I felt that she didn't have enough "meat" to fill a whole book, so she tried to make it appear longer. As a teacher, I see students writing real BIG and leaving lots of space on papers... so that may have influenced the way I saw it. However, I didn't get much out of this book.
