Reader’s Corner: ‘She Is Possible’

When a person’s background or circumstances set them up as “least likely to succeed,” can they ever hope to turn things around? 

The answer lies in the Gospel of Matthew in the Bible, where Jesus tells his followers, “With God, all things are possible!” (19:26). Not just a few things; not just everybody else’s things except yours, but all things. 

That’s the theme of “She Is Possible,” a new book recently released by Dr. Marla Woodmansee of Branson. Dr. Marla is a Bible teacher, TV ministry host, and conference speaker whose passion is to inspire, empower and motivate everyone to trust in God with all their heart. In this book, Dr. Marla encourages everyone, and particularly women, to believe God has a plan for helping them rise above their circumstances and become what He wants them to be. 

Each chapter of “She Is Possible” draws from the story of a woman in the Bible who faced seemingly impossible circumstances, but God turned those circumstances around. For example, have you ever thought about what Mary Magdalene’s life was like when she was tormented by seven demons? But then—Jesus! Or that woman who had bleeding for 12 years, draining her finances and isolating her from religious and social community? But then, Jesus! 

The faithfulness of God is further illustrated by the book’s many historical examples of people who persevered, with God’s help, and overcame challenges—for example, artist Sarah Biffin, who produced beautiful artwork even though she was born without arms or legs! Dr. Marla also includes honest examples of tough circumstances in her own life that eventually led to her calling to ministry. As you read these stories, along with encouraging Scriptures, you’ll see that victory can happen for you, too.
