I recently read Lorraine Pintus delightful book, "Jump off the Hormone Swing". Lorraine's in-depth research on women's hormonal issues is written in a way that had me laughing out loud, crying and then asking myself, "why couldn't I have had this information years ago?" Written from a point of view as one who has endured a life of PMS ups and downs, Lorraine wrote not only from a physical and mental perspective, but also from a spiritual one as well. Many medical books have been written on the topic addressing the physical and mental affects of women's hormonal issues, but few address it from a refreshing personal and spiritual perspective as Lorraine has. Also, an added plus to the book is the wisdom she shares from the more than 1,500 women she surveyed about PMS. Lorraine's vast experience over the past decade in addressing women's issues through hers and Linda Dillow's "Intimate Issues" conferences and book has definitely her given her a voice to speak into our lives once again on such an important topic as this one. Are you having issues with hormonal swings such as PMS or perimenopause? Lorraine has several practical suggestions on how to overcome and make the most of the highs and lows that seem to come during inopportune times. Learning how to listen to our body and appreciate the intricate ways the Lord made us, will help us accept and receive the gift God has given women. She encourages us to lean on His strength and truth in times of weakness, which gives us an ability to see Him at work within our lives.
I hope that many of my PWOC sisters and other women will use this wonderful book, along with its companion 10-week Bible study, in order to bring much needed knowledge and understanding to the way we are uniquely and beautifully created as women.
