Meet Donna Partow

Author Donna Partow is no stranger to the tugs and pulls of life. Her books are born out of a need to evaluate and organize one's priorities, offering practical advice to her readers. Her books How to Work With the One You Love, and No More Lone Ranger Moms were met with overwhelming success, and they demonstrate Donna's personal discovery of the need for a network of others around her to support her in the challenges of life.

Another of Donna's books has been a top seller for nearly three years. Becoming a Vessel God Can Use is a ten-week study that explores what God is capable of doing through us if we are willing. Using biblical and contemporary examples, including Donna's personal journey from drug dealer to Christian communicator, this book depicts all too well that we are full of God-given potential. We just need to let God work through us.

Her book, Walking in Total God-Confidence, is a second ten-week study for churches or Bible groups that employs the same winning formula of Becoming a Vessel God Can Use. Founded in Scripture and filled with inspirational examples, this book introduces readers to the concept of "God-confidence"—the unique assurance that God can do what He wants through whomever He chooses.

Recent releases by Donna include A Ten Week Journey to Standing Firm, a study in how the power of God can satisfy, sustain, and strengthen you when overwhelming circumstances threaten to cloud your way; A Woman's Guide to Personality Types, a look at the "popular, perfect, powerful, or peaceful" personality types and learn how understanding your husband's and kids' unique temperaments can help you provide a tranquil, happy home; and This Isn't the Life I Signed Up For, which guides women whose lives aren't perfect to a place where they can find hope and healing.
