Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me??In this twenty-one day devotional, Adessa shares ageless truths that she learned in her forties, but wishes she embraced in her twenties. She invites you to laugh at her silliness, to feel camaraderie in our similar female challenges, and to be encouraged to be the woman God created you to be. Whether you read it on your own or work through it with a group, you will be inspired by the ageless truth that God loves you, and, no matter how young or old you are, He has a plan and purpose for your life. "Adessa writes a sweet book, which is easy to read and filled with good advice, plus Scriptures to back up her thoughts. I love that each generation can cheer on the generation coming up behind them, and this book does just that!" -Liz DeFrain, PennDel Ministry Network Women's Director " When I first met Adessa at a Women's Conference (way back when), I was so impressed with the wisdom she shared. She made me wish that I had been like her when I was in my thirties. Although our lives were different in many ways, the core of who we are was very similar. As I read through Ageless Truths, I was amazed at the stories that are shared. Not because I could not imagine Adessa going through these situations, but because the situations were so similar to many that I have lived. The beauty of this book is that the lessons are put into writing, are followed through with practical lessons. Too often we as believers live out a lesson, but soon forget it and do not apply what was learned to the rest of our journey. Not only does Adessa capture the lesson, but makes the application easily remembered and applied. Although I am older than her, I continue to need these reminders and encouragement to stand up for my convictions, to accept my imperfections, and to move forward from my failures." -Sharon Poole, PennDel Ministry Network Girls Ministries Director "If you're familiar with Adessa's writings, this latest offering will not disappoint! Adessa combines humor, honesty and humility with sound Biblical principles. Each chapter gives plenty to consider and contemplate, and is relevant for women of all ages; I read it along with my school-age, college-age, and adult daughters! Adessa never disappoints!" -Corinne Thorpe, Mom of 5 girls and 5 boys, Pastor's Wife, member of Women of Purpose Dream Team "Godly truth and stories from the heart. Ageless Truths is an encouragement to women of all ages. This devotional book captures the importance of Holy Spirit's voice in our lives and the unmistakable value of your voice. So many nuggets of truth in each chapter! " -Bethany Marshall, Author/ Director of Daughters Conference "If you are looking to read something real, fresh eye opening, and thought provoking, I recommend Adessa's latest book Ageless Truths. Adessa's wit, authenticity, charm and love for God's Word really come through on the pages of this book. The stories are engaging and relatable, while also making you take a look inward and shifting your perspective to Gods perspective. I loved it!" -Kelly Carver, Author and Speaker Adessa Holden is an author and an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God specializing in Women's Ministry.  Together with her brother, Jamie, they manage 4One Ministries and travel the East Coast speaking, holding conferences and producing Men's and Women's resources that provide practical Biblical teaching for everyday life.   Adessa's passion is helping women develop an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus and become the women God originally designed them to be.   When asked about herself, she'll tell you, "I'm a women's minister, a sister, and a daughter.  I love to laugh and spend time with people.  My favorite things are chocolate, the ocean, sandals and white capris, anything purple, summertime, and riding in the car listening to music.  (Which is a good thing considering how much time I spend traveling.) It is my absolute honor and privilege to serve Jesus and women through this ministry."    Visit her website at: adessaholden.com.
