A powerful call to step into your full potential that biblically
affirms the need for women to rise up and work together to make a
better world. "Jo is one of my most trusted voices in Christian
leadership... She leads auditoriums full of people, and she leads
me one-on-one." -Jen Hatmaker 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.
Let's be honest, the life you lead isn't what you've always dreamt.
And maybe the person you've become isn't who you've always
imagined. Sure, you can clean it up. You can work longer, love
harder, and eat better. You can scrub the surface of your life
until it gleams and still never address the fact that somehow you
lost sight of who you really are and what you're living for. Is
this the life you were meant to live? As the child of Nigerian
immigrants in the UK, author and speaker Jo Saxton knows firsthand
how quickly the world can cause us to doubt our dreams and question
who we are. She understands how easily we can exchange our true
child-of-God selves for an identity built on lies, guilt, and
brokenness. In this powerful book, Jo examines Biblical figures and
shares her personal story as she invites you to turn to the One who
knows you intimately and loves you deeply. He sees all you've
struggled to hide. He hears the voice inside you that others have
silenced. He knows the potential and purpose that no one valued. He
longs to redeem the story of your life and set you on the path to
reclaim The Dream of You. Are you ready?

maximize their giftedness. If you have ever wondered whether God

weary of battling against those who want to quell your voice and
ministry passions, then this book is for you. You will find
encouragement, inspiration, and strength to break through the
barriers that are keeping you from exerting your full influence for
God and his kingdom.
