Droid transfer app download. The Bridge Women exists to help women glorify God by becoming and making disciples of Jesus Christ. Whether you are asking questions about God or have walked with Him for years, come grow with us as we turn to God’s truth for answers as we love and support one another. This beautifully written, bittersweet story of ladies of a certain age and era will have wide appeal.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review)) “A book for two generations.” (Dallas Morning News) “The Bridge Ladies is an uplifting account of a baby boomer’s attempt to understand her mother’s generation. Lerner never lets herself off the hook, either, and the result is candid, fresh and enlightening.”. Through her friendships with the ladies, she is finally able to face years of misunderstandings and family tragedy, the Bridge table becoming the common ground she and Roz never had. By turns darkly funny and deeply moving, The Bridge Ladies is the unforgettable story of a hard-won—but never-too-late—bond between mother and daughter.
Each year, we host events like Women of the Bible, Chit Chat & Giftwrap, Taste of the Holidays, and our annual Women's Weekend. These are designed to foster connection and growth as we help each other navigate the challenges of living as godly women.

To live with an awareness and focus on the eternal rather than the temporary, an orientation towards what will please God rather than what is simple or convenient, or popular. Relationships involve time. Women require sensitivity. Ministry involves commitment. We believe that all of these factors need to be present for our ministry to women to meet the heart needs of those involved.
We desire relationships between women of The Bridge which characterize generosity, support, encouragement, and authenticity. We seek a community of kindness, grace, and trust; a network of loving concern for the health and welfare of one another.
We desire a clear and certain policy of safety within the women’s ministry of The Bridge. Each and every woman served or working within this ministry must be assured that communication about and towards one another will be respectful and loving. The undermining and demoralizing effects of gossip will be taught within our ministry, and when noted, gossip will be addressed.
We desire each woman to serve in her giftedness. We believe that each of us is designed with a passion which can be used to glorify God and draw others into relationship, and we hope to see women offering their passion up to teach, encourage, and nurture others.
We desire a generational support relationship among women of The Bridge, as described in Titus 2, that when younger women observe older women as reverent teachers of good things, they will learn from them how to love God and love others in their stage of life.
The Bible is our foundation for everything, so our desire is to learn it, live it, teach it.
“Lerner’s memoir makes a case for spending time together under the rules of neutrality imposed by a game, and approach to living that refrains from over-sharing and outward complaining to concentrate on the task at hand. The bridge ladies are there for one another, even as they keep their feelings to themselves and play on.” New York Times Book Review

“In her absorbing memoir, Lerner probes marriage, career, motherhood, depression, aging, death, religion and sex, discovering that, although the Bridge Ladies’ generation differs from hers, they share common values of love and kinship. This beautifully written, bittersweet story of ladies of a certain age and era will have wide appeal.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

Dragon ball super vimeo. “The Bridge Ladies is an uplifting account of a baby boomer’s attempt to understand her mother’s generation. Lerner never lets herself off the hook, either, and the result is candid, fresh and enlightening.” (Providence Journal)
“Through the alchemy of a grand game, Betsy Lerner has woven a universal coming-of-age story for both mother and daughter. A poignant, humorous and often painful struggle through the pageantry of playing cards; a woman’s face on every one.” (Patti Smith, author of Just Kids and M Train)
“Betsy Lerner’s ladies are our ladies, our mothers, grandmothers, and aunts. Lerner takes us back to their tables, capturing a group of wonderful American women—growing older now and braving new battles—with sweetness, humor and sharp perceptiveness. This is a book with heart and feeling.” (George Hodgman, author of Bettyville)
“Lerner takes us on a journey of understanding: the card game, the women who play it, their lives and relationships. In Lerner’s beautifully observed account, Bridge becomes both a literal and figurative pathway to repairing an even more precious bond: her own relationship to her mother.” (Deborah Tannen, author of You Just Don’t Understand and You’re Wearing THAT?)
“This is the best book about mothers and daughters I’ve read in decades, maybe ever. It’s about mother-daughter conflict, the desire to love and be loved, aging and loss, discovery and renewal. Betsy Lerner is a beautiful, achingly honest writer, and The Bridge Ladies is at once heartbreaking and hilarious.” (Amy Chua, Yale Law Professor and author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

“A searching, funny, warm memoir.” (O, the Oprah Magazine)
The Bridge Ladies
“The Bridge Ladies reminded me of Tuesdays with Morrie, except it takes place on Mondays and has five Morries. Exquisitely written, in this book are portraits of five women whose like we won’t see again. I devoured it in one greedy sitting, and started re-reading as soon as I finished.” (Will Schwalbe, author of the New York Times bestseller The End of Your Life Book Club)
