SAVANNAH

Can you really learn to love as Jesus loves? What exactly would this love look like? Can you actually grow in this love so that it would become a part of your daily life? What would this godly love cost you? Do you strive to be a person after God's own heart? In "Becoming a Woman Who Loves," Cynthia Heald directs listeners on how to focus on Christ's command to "love one another," and show how we can follow His example of sacrificial, unconditional, and passionate caring.

On April 5 from 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m., Grace Church of the Islands (PCA), Wilmington Island, will host a women's community conference featuring Cynthia Heald. Registration deadline is March 21 - only 350 tickets will be sold. Tickets are $15 and include a boxed lunch. To register or to organize a group, contact the church office at (912) 898-0170.

Heald challenges women around the world to excel in love, excellence, freedom, purpose, prayer, godliness, and grace through her best-selling series of books. Her newest book in the "Becoming..." series teaches women everywhere to love as Jesus loves. Her books have repeatedly been listed in the top ten best sellers in Christianity Today and CBA Marketplace.

Heald is the author of many books including "Becoming a Women Who Loves," "Becoming a Woman of Grace," "Becoming a Woman of Freedom," "Becoming a Woman of Prayer," "Becoming a Woman of Purpose," and "Becoming a Woman of Excellence."

A frequent guest throughout the United States for speaking engagements, women's retreats, and Bible studies, Heald has been interviewed on numerous radio and television programs.
