A Different Kind of Wild: Is Your Faith Too Tame?

Debbie Alsdorf wants women to get a little wild--a new and different wild that will enrich their sense of purpose, establish their faith, and lift their sagging spirits when life gets hard. In A Different Kind of Wild she encourages women to take back their lives and begin living how God intended--lives that are bigger and grander than the norm.
With passion and contagious enthusiasm, Alsdorf helps women break free of perfectionistic tendencies to live in untamed courageous obedience to God's leading. The book's twelve chapters and discussion questions make it perfect for small group study or for personal spiritual growth and direction.

You were born to be WILD

Not bad wild--good wild, with a new zest for life, for Jesus, and for his thrilling, bold, and creative plans for you.

She'll show you how to break free from old expectations and boring patterns and find the WILD (Women in Lifelong Development) way of life.

Travel this untamed new terrain, and you'll deepen your faith, enrich your sense of purpose, and lift your sagging spirits when life gets hard. Alsdorf includes reflection questions at the end of each chapter and an expanded study section at the end of the book, so you can explore the wild alone or in a small group.

So grab your cheetah-print gear and start living the WILD life God has imagined for you--a life bigger and grander than you ever thought possible.
