<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Once upon a time...the raging dragon...a hero and a damsel in distress... Remember the old fairy tales? Prince Charming and Sleeping Beauty and happily ever after? It was always that way inour bedtime stories, but what about real life?</p><p>Are you overwhelmed, in despair, heartsick, or in danger? Not sure which way to turn? Whom to trust? What to do? </p><p>In this highly creative approach, Wilbee combines women from the Bible with characters in well-known stories like <em>The Wizard of Oz</em>, <em>Winnie the Pooh</em>, and <em>Jane Eyre</em> to help women in conflict and pain understand five powerful choices they have to tame their dragons.</p><p>Orphan: In crisis, Dorothy of Oz and Esther of old learn to ask for help--and find self-reliance. </p><p>Pilgrim: Scarecrow and Hagar flee ineffective and/or hurtful expectations to seek clarity and new direction. </p><p>Martyr: Tinman and Ruth sacrifice from a position of power in order<br /> to redeem--not from powerless subservience to someone else's agenda.</p><p>Warrior: Lion and Deborah fight to save those they love, careful lest they become like the dragons they slay. </p><p>Wizard: Wizard and Abigail name Truth, then work creative alternatives to transform evil ... though they must first name their own.</p>
