Instruction
Grace – It can mean so many things like elegance, favor, good will or even moral strength. In the Bible it often means “unmerited favor” as in Ephesians 2:5 and Titus 3:5. It is saving and justifying grace. It can also mean attractiveness, as in Colossians 4:6: “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”

About the Book
Dress for Success is a Bible study for women in the form of an instant diary.
It contains three months of guided learning intended for use in a group or by an individual. It covers topics such as surrender, prayer, laughter, temptation, friendship, covenant, and imagination.
Written by an artist and teacher, it also contains a lesson on mind mapping and one on homiletics, a simple method of biblical analysis.
The book’s goal is to help women of all ages meet both the natural and spiritual worlds clothed with God’s grace.
About the Author
Marianne Wood works as an artist and art instructor in Abilene, Texas. But a passion to encourage people—women in particular—to pursue biblical living runs as a theme throughout her adult life. She has written poems, prayers, stories, songs—and yes, some art articles, but this is her first professionally— produced book. Her family, friends, students, and mentors have provided much inspiration!
Dress for Success was originally written for a precious group of young women in a Sunday School class, but it would not have been produced at all had she not trusted Christ during a singing of the hymn “I Surrender All” at a church camp. Marianne embraces the opportunity to share this instant diary with more women of all ages.
