The Intentional Woman will empower women by giving them tools under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to make intentional choices for purposeful living. This book has a broad appeal that every woman should process, no matter her family dynamic or career focus. The purpose of her life story will emerge with greater impact in her world.

This book offers invaluable freedom from the struggle to live up to the expectations of others, and guidance for finding fulfillment in your own unique, God-designed personality and purpose. I needed this book! (Jenni Afman Dimkoff, motivational speaker; author of Bedtime Bible Stories for Women)

From Women Who Have Completed the IW Five-Step Process:
Carol and Joan put together a process for personal and spiritual growth that has been life-changing for me. I have completed the easy-to- follow process myself two times and have led others through it four times. As a result I am a better wife, mother, friend and businesswoman and my love for God has grown exponentially. This is a must-read for any woman who desires to live proactively instead of being controlled by circumstances. (Kelli Gotthardt, Consultant and Professional Trainer)
I attended the Intentional Woman Seminar at the lowest point of my life. I was hurting and confused. God used the IW process to get my focus on the power and truth from His Word. It was packed with Biblical truth and practical ways to apply it to my life. God used the IW process to jump start my healing. I am now equipped to walk through each new day with peace and confidence. (Stephanie Brown, Ministry Leader, Sun Valley, Utah)
After doing a study on Spiritual Gifts, the most natural succession to this was the Intentional Woman workbook. Now that we knew what gifts God has naturally blessed us with, it was time to become Intentional. We enjoyed it immensely. (Janice Fields, leading a group in her church, CA)
Our IW session was GREAT. Each gal is at a different place in her life, but the interaction and feedback has been so helpful to all. Each personally expressed what a blessing it has been to read the book and come to the sessions. The setting in the home, with close fellowship has been a winner. Women like to share their lives, and they are eager to participate. This has been a blessing for me as I have prayed about a study in my home for well over a year, so this has been the answer. (Kay Grove, leading a group of women through the IW process in her home, CO)
Women's Comments after The Intentional Woman weekend retreat and one-day seminar:
Inspiring. The dynamics of the two [Joan and Carol] work well.
Plain and simple, you are PRO's, and your personality differences make it so much fun and give great credibility to your content!
Forced me to look at my stress points and made me realize I do have choices “ I am not a victim!"
Joan and Carol are so real and personal, not phony or over rehearsed.
I identified a lot with what you said. I am ready to be who God made me to be.
You said when sharing your story that you didn’t leave God but assumed He had changed His mind about you. I so appreciate that comment. I think it expresses what I have felt these last ten years since my divorce. But over time and especially these last six months and this weekend, I have seen this is not the case. I appreciate your sharing to add clarity to my experience.
A life-changing experience for me. I can't begin to express my thanks for how God used both of you to work in an area of my life where I've been struggling.
From Women's Ministry Directors and Leaders:
I love watching focused women in action. I enjoy watching them organize fundraisers that make life better for less fortunate individuals. I admire the parenting skills these women use as they work carefully to empower their children. I enjoy watching the gift of teaching as women with purpose map out a determined plan to make God's word come alive to others. Our world is indeed a better place because of purposeful, deliberate, intentional woman. This weekend Carol Travilla and Joan Webb helped us unpack the power of our personal stories as well as the next step for intentional living. (Kay Barker, Director of Women's Ministries, Coast Hills Community Church, Aliso Viejo, CA
I went through the Intentional Women process a number of years ago and benefited enormously from it, so I was very excited to offer it to the women of Cornerstone. Women are still thanking me for bringing Carol and Joan and The Intentional Woman One-Day Seminar to our church! I hear how much they too benefited from the process and about the intentional steps they are now taking in their lives. I intend to continue going through this process periodically in order to stay focused as an intentional woman. Thank you, Carol and Joan, for giving us such a wonderful tool! (Michelle Rauscher, Women's Ministry Director, Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, Chandler, AZ)
Only heaven will reveal all the fruit from this Intentional Woman weekend, but already I see the buds, flowers (blossoms) and see the promise of much fruit. Thank you. (Diane Johnson, Women's Ministries Director, Midland Evangelical Free Church, Midland, MI)
It has taken months to realize the full importance of working through the Intentional Woman process. I always knew God called me to a ministry with women, but through Carol and Joan's help I was able to fully realize that His calling was specific and that I was to focus my energies in a particular direction. Now I have a target women's ministry using Titus II as the foundation. (Robyn Bloomquist, San Tan Bible Church, Gilbert, AZ)
