Is God enough? It’s a question her circumstances bring her back to quite often. But over a lifetime, she’s come to the conclusion that not only is God enough, He has to be enough.
As a young child, she didn’t realize her need for God, but she did realize she had a need that wasn’t being met. She was sexually abused when she was seven years old. Her dad walked out on her family when she was eleven. Both left her devastated.
She didn’t understand how God could bring healing, so she spent years trying to heal herself. But nothing was enough to meet her needs. Nothing…

This is my friend Melissa Taylor’s story. Maybe you read her Proverbs 31 Ministries devotion today. This is also the Melissa I talk about in chapter eleven, and the Melissa who is hosting a P31 Online Bible Study with my new book, A Confident Heart.
It’s going to be life-changing. I’ve known Melissa for over 10 years – and love her! She’s the real deal and I’m so honored she chosen my book as her next study. She is an amazing woman and a great group leader! If you are looking for friends to walk alongside as you learn how to stop doubting yourself and start living in the security of God’s promises, please consider joining this online Bible Study group.
Today, I’m announcing a new give-away that will include a copy of my book and a FREE series of Confident Heart Conference Calls that are an optional part of Melissa’s online study. They include 4 calls with Melissa and guests (including me and other women who have a passion for this topic).They normally cost $15 – but I”m giving one of you the whole series for free!

I am doing Melissa’s study online and can’t wait til September!
I have just started reading A Confident Heart. Already I love it and especially love the peace that comes from hearing God’s word. I will definitely look into the online study too!
Would love to do the study….so enjoyed Made To Crave when she led that! Thank you for the opportunity! 🙂
I am signing up for the online study! I can’t wait!
I will be taking sweet Melissa’s on-line bible study! :0)
I signed up for the on-line study with Melissa. I am excited to begin.
Hello!
Thank you for posting this on your blog! Melissa’s writing is just what I needed today!
I am signing up for Melissa’s online study of your book today! Also, signed up for her updates so I don’t miss a thing. : )
Thank you again!
Hi Renee, I have signed up for Melissa’s study. I just really feel lost lately and in my head i know that God is enough from past experience even but, i just don’t feel connected to Him in my heart. What happened and how did i lose Him, i don’t know. I want to trust Him but, between physical issues and financial issues i just never seem to get anywhere. I feel like i’m hurtling down a deep dark mine shaft and just as God reaches out a hand to me i slip just out of His grasp again. There is a little part of me too stubborn to give up so i keep taking bible studies. Just pray please. Thanks Renee.
I am praying for you sweet sister. Praying hard for you right now. Oh that you will feel His nearness and His love for you wrap around your heart, mind and soul!!
I am passing all that I am reading along to my grown (28) daughter. She is looking for love in all the wrong places and my prayer for her is to trust and look to God for all of her answers and needs. I continullay tell her he is the answer.
I signed up and looking forward to it!
I am praying I get to be in the bible study and would love conference calls.
Thank you for all you do for God and His Kingdom.
I am ever so grateful to you and your book! What a blessing you are to myself and so many others that struggle with doubt, insecurity and a “not so confident” heart. I received an autographed copy of your book that I purchased a couple of weeks ago – I’m about halfway through it. I’m taking all the notes that I can, and completing each and every question at the end of the chapters. I know this book was “on purpose” in my life, and I look forward to reading it over and over and applying all that God is showing me. I have signed up for Melissa Taylor’s online study for “The Confident Heart” and I can’t wait to get started! And should I win the series of conference calls…I’ll consider it a great blessing!! But if not, I know that whoever does will be richly blessed because of it! God’s will in ALL things! Thank you again for all you are doing in God’s Kingdom! Be blessed my friend!

I was going to do this on my own, but after reading Melissa’s story and knowing that she is going to do an online study, I am going to do that! 🙂 Thank you Renee for writing this book. I have been receiving the 7-day Doubt Diet and the emails are encouraging and so, so helpful. May God richly bless this book and your ministry and use both for His glory.
I have signed up, I have my book and now I just need Sept. 19th to get here quick.
I am joining Melissa’s Bible Study and received my book last Thursday – YAY!!!!! This will be my second Bible Study with Melissa, I was so blessed by the “It’s No Secret” Bible Study with Melissa and Rachel Olsen and I loved the conference calls. This is so cool!!! I am looking forward to this study and I’m trying to hold off from reading ahead!!!! Can’t wait :-))))
I definitely want to do the online study because I don’t really have a group to study with, and it’s so much easier to study with other people — it keeps you motivated but you can ask questions if you have them. I should be receiving your book in the mail any day now and I can’t wait!
Renee – I signed up a while ago and can’t express how excited I am to see what God is going to do in my life and the lives of so many others through this study. He is so good and so faithful and brings just what we need when we need it.
I am joining Melissa’s study, as well as hosting one through my church. I am really looking forward to reading the book!
I just bought your book to read and would love the chance to be on the phone with y’all!! I’m new to your website and I just love it!!! Cant wait to get started on your book!
I have my book sent by you, I am anxious to start it but I have to finish a mandatory class book for my job as a teacher first. SO… this motivates me to get my work done so I can enjoy your book next! I will sign up for her Melissa’s study too! Thank you for your ministry, P31 is the best thing I ever found on line!
Have a blessed day!
