I am a Christian fiction blogger — I love a good story. But sometimes non-fiction titles make their way to my house too. Ready to Rise by Jo Saxton is one of those. This book looks like something my readers may be interested in, so I am spotlighting it today. Enjoy the blurb and the author info below. (I have not read Ready to Rise, so this is not a recommendation.)
In this particular cultural moment, where the momentum of #MeToo meets raised voices over injustice in wage equality and minority representation, popular speaker and podcaster Jo Saxton wants to move women beyond disempowerment. Instead, she draws women together to grow their grit and to establish new partnerships that will have a powerful chain effect.
Ready to Rise tackles the real-life issues women face — workplace harassment, sexism, low self-esteem, financial woes, power battles, and old wounds — while providing meaningful wisdom from Jo’s own journey to leadership. Added to this personal reflection are stories of empowered women from the Bible. Jo then calls on readers to invest in the next generation of women and build new communities where diverse female leadership can flourish.
Ready to Rise pulls together Jo’s best practices in both listening to the hearts of women and empowering them to change the landscape.
