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 received my preordered book a couple weeks ago….I am not an avid reader, but this has captured my attention!! 4 of my dearest friends and myself are going to read and dive into this book together, I am excited to see what God is going to reveal! My prayer is many things, but most of all building up my confidence to be a leader to lead this study with ladies outside my comfort zone. I know that God has big things planned through this incredible book! Thank you Renee for revealing your heart to so many discouraged women! God bless you!
I signed up for Melissa’s online study and received my book a couple of weeks ago. I have already started the book and I am taking my time going through it. I am on Chapter 3 and can already feel some of the weight lifted off of me. My thoughts are changing slowly, but changing. Thank you for being so open in your book. I have missed alot of opportunities myself because of my fear of dying. My mother died of cancer when I was 18 and I have always feared dying at a young age and never wanted to be too far away from home for fear that my kids would be left without a mother. My thoughts are changing, instead of the “what if” thinking I now recite Jeremiah 29:11. Thank you Renee for writing this book!
I have your book and have signed up for the Bible Study. I have so enjoyed studying with Melissa, she truly has a heart for God. Thanks Renee and I can’t wait to “meet” you on the calls.
I signed up today for Melissa’s bible study, and I am hoping to get some friends to join with me!
I am so excited to read this book!!
I am signed up for the online study- and so excited! Can’t wait.
First hoping to read your book on my own someday soon, then will consider study grouping it.
I am signed up & excited!
I just bought your book for Kindle from Amazon! and I’ve signed up for the online Bible study with Melissa. I’m really excited to do this study and really looking forward to it.
I’m so glad that I signed up for the online Bible Study. I am relieved to know that I will be held accountable to consistently be in God’s Word this fall.
Reading it on my own! Just what I needed!
I am joining Melissa’s study. Can’t wait to read the book!
I have my signed copy of “A Confident Heart” and will begin a book study with some other women soon. I am just now finishing a book study of “One Thousand Gifts” by Ann Voskamp I can’t wait to begin “A Confident Heart” with the ladies in my group and will look to your site and Melissa’s for ideas and insight! Thank You so much and God Bless!
I’m excited about the study. I just did the Hidden Joy study with a friend and we’re doing A Confident Heart next.
I have begun reading my book and am signed up for the study. I’m ready! Thanks for the chance to win!
I am joining the study, but I haven’t bought the book yet. Still saving up! Can’t wait to read and study it! Thanks for all the good works you do in His name!
I am joining Mellissa’s study. Havent bought the book yet.
I am so excited about the online bible study. I’ve never done anything like this before. I know that this is from God because I have prayed for several month to be a part of a bible study that I knew was from God and that He wanted to speak to me personally. When I caught wind of your new book coming out I couldn’t let it go until I knew all there was and if it could possibly be the one God was wanting to use in my life to answer many of the questions I’ve had for years…years that have haunted me…plagued me…paralyzed me! I’m ready…got my calendar marked!
Yay!! I’m so honored to be part of the answer to your prayer!! Praying that He will speak to you and answer so many answers. Oh that your heart will just be drenched by His presence and His love!!
I just signed up for the online study A Confident Heart, thank you for mentioning it -again- in your blog post to Proverbs 31 Ministry. I kept seeing it mentioned and it just now clicked that I could actually be a part ot this study and need the topic in my own walk with God. So thank you and thank You Lord.
With 9 children the online study is my only option! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
Definitely signing up for the study with Melissa and can’t wait 🙂
