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.

When Debbie Alsdorf speaks to Christian women, she has a message for them: "Go wild." And she means it - but she's talking about a different kind of wild living than the image we're most familiar with.

"This new wild is about taking our lives back," she says. "It's about becoming women who dare to live differently - wild in surrender, wild in devotion, wild in service, and wild in following what God calls us to do."

She encourages women to embrace the adventure God has for them, and watch their faith flourish like never before. She looks at how women can be risk-takers for Christ, stand firm in crises, confront fear with truth, dare to live by a different standard and find courage to follow a new life path.

Alsdorf explains this call to becoming wild: "'Wild' stands for 'women in lifelong development.'" While this might sound intimidating and out-of-reach to some women, she points out that it is a process. "The key is understanding that it's a lifelong development. There are no overnight spiritual success stories. We are on a journey with God: Each day the pages of life are turned, and line by line our story unfolds. It is a process."

With passion and deep, Scriptural insights, Alsdorf - an exciting conference speaker, women's ministry leader and Bible teacher - helps women live transformed lives with untames faith and courageous obedience to God's leading. Reflection questions are included, making this book an ideal resource for personal study or small-group use.
