Women Who Empower is a collection of stories by women dedicated to helping others. Each chapter follows the journey that led each author to empower and inspire others through their own transformational experiences.

During her more than twenty five years of guiding organizations through large scale change, Jan oftentimes found herself battling internally with self-limiting beliefs that left her with a deep gap inside until one day God's voice clearly, plainly, and with resounding tone moved her to take her own inventory and make a massive change in her life.

Winner of the Winchester Conference Slim Volume prize. Jan Edwards' prize-winning Sussex Tales runs a witty and thought-provoking gamut of village events and of its more curious characters.
