Live Intentionally

The Intentional Woman: A Guide to Experiencing the Power of Your Story
  • Do you feel unfocused and disorganized with too many jobs to do and too many people to please?

  • Are you confused about what's next as you go through another life transition?

  • Do you desire a deeper connection with God?

Women have so many options; career, family, church, community, that it's easy for them to feel pulled in a thousand different directions and lose track of who they are.

Carol Travilla and Joan Webb have felt the pull of conflicting priorities and desires, and have faced confusing transitions through different seasons of life. Together they have developed an inviting, reusable five-step process using questions, surveys, diagrams, and biblical guidance that will help women rediscover who they are and track a path toward a meaningful and God-honoring life.

The Intentional Woman process:

  • Is a practical, personal approach by two women who have been there and walked the talk.

  • Is a hands-on workbook designed to be read and used.

  • Is suitable for individual and group use “includes small-group facilitation guidelines.

  • Lifts the reader beyond the present to see a vision of what could be.

  • Presents positive life change in the context of a deepening spiritual commitment.

The Intentional Woman is a workbook, a Bible study, and curriculum for helping women grow spiritually and personally. There are group facilitation notes included with the workbook. It can be used individually, with a group in a 6 or 12 week study, or as a one-on-one mentoring tool. It is a unique method for helping women live God-glorifying lives in the midst of their imperfect and overloaded realities. During the IW process, each woman works through the following reusable five steps:
