Is Job a Member of My Family Tree?
Struggling with Life Challenges? You are not alone!
Ever wish for a friend who really understood you? 7 Trials Every Woman Faces offers a virtual friend to lean on. Author Kathy Carlton Willis comes alongside you as she shares insights learned through her own stinky situations.
All life-trials fit in the same categories as Job’s afflictions (told in the oldest book of the Bible). Whenever Kathy feels like there’s a “kick me” sign on her back, she asks, “Is Job a member of my family tree?” Laughing helps a little.
The chapter segments go along with the family tree theme:
- Family Album. Snapshots of heartwarming stories from real life.
- Family Bible. Biblical insights to overcome trials from a godly perspective.
- Family Recipes. Practical steps to help you grow and succeed God’s way.
- Family Legacy. Lessons passed along as you help others endure trials.
Learn how to overcome Job-like trials, when: your family lets you down, friends misunderstand you, your health crumbles, your finances plummet or others question your faith.
Everyone has trials, but it’s the way we deal with hardship that determines not only the outcome, but how we cope when we’re smack-dab in the middle of them.
Ideal on your own or with a group.

Kathy addresses the 7 Trials Every Woman Faces, but this is no basic book. She shows that it’s the way we deal with hardship that helps us cope and determines the outcome. Chapter one offers a fundamental tool to help my clients recognize their struggles with self-doubt by examining Job’s life and responses. As a mom of six, I find the Family Chat and Family Legacy sections particularly helpful.

Kathy has navigated more than her share of trials. She keeps humor on speed dial as she guides readers through the practical and biblical resources in 7 Trials Every Woman Faces. Two sections, Points to Ponder and Instruction for Living direct the reader to look both inward and upward. Her focus on moving forward is most valuable in this stellar book.
– Deb DeArmond, author of Bumper Sticker Be-Attitudes, Related by Chance, Family by Choice, and more
With Kathy’s uplifting stories and insightful Bible teaching, I believe 7 Trials Every Woman Faces will become the go-to book for thriving in the midst of trials. Kathy walks readers by the hand through their struggles and gives them a new perspective. I especially like the section on difficult conversations. When you face uncomfortable situations head on, you really can grin again!
