The Measure of Success: Uncovering the Biblical Perspective on Women, Work, and the Home
Overview

The Measure of Success will help women greatly. I'm so grateful for its contribution.
Christine Caine
The primary responsibility to provide for the family rests on the shoulders of husbands, so issues surrounding women and work are seldom discussed.
The Measure of Success takes a helpful look at the question. It counters the popular notion that the location of our work and the money we receive for it is the definition and measure of our success. The Lord wants us to be good stewards of all the relationships and resources He's given us. Whether you work at home and/or in the marketplace,
The Measure of Success will challenge you to be a creative, fruitful, industrious woman who invests what you've been given for the glory of God.

Nora Shank was born in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., where she was raised with more than a big city idea of work. After several entrepreneurial candy and lemonade stands, she learned how to run a successful catering business before pursuing her love of food and wellness as registered dietitian. She now works as a personal health consultant and resides in Virginia. She is married to Travis and they have two children, Kate and Grant. Nora tries to live up to the Miles Standish proverb that those who don't work, don't eat--she tries to do both wholeheartedly.
