I am…

If you were asked to complete the sentence, how would you describe yourself?

• I AM Powerful
• I AM Resilient
• I AM Brave
• I AM Beautiful
• I AM not ashamed

Do words like these sit comfortably, or do they best describe others?

What about the people who know you best?

What words would they use?

In this interactive journal, 26 everyday Australian women from a diverse range of backgrounds, experiences and circumstances open a window and offer readers a rare glimpse into their lives.

Mothers, sisters, wives and daughters, each writer open their heart to reveal the truth, joy frustration, heartbreak, love and pathos that comes only when one searches within, speaks with absolute honesty and dares to answer the ”I AM” question.

When Moses encountered God on the mountain, he asked God what His name was. God responded with I AM. By saying this, God wanted to offer a greater revelation of who He was and is.

When Jesus came, He said is was His plan to fully reveal God to us, that if we had seen Him, we had seen the Father; Jesus also called Himself I AM.

The I AM statements are powerful and intended to reveal something about God. When we say I AM, we too are revealing a part of ourselves.

This volume is a compilation of reflections by women of faith as they consider various aspects of the character of God, and how they impact on and shape living in today's world.
