Format:Paperback
holly wagner with her newest release manages to write a book that is both inspiring and eye-opening!!
using the metaphor of a warrior, she implores all women, regardless of their past issues to stand up and be an example to those around them and to inspire those women thus empowering the next generation of women to become overcomers instead of victims.
yes, holly has had her fair share of battles but uses these examples of how to keep on going even when the fight is tough and that marks out a true warrior!!
the layout does take a bit of getting used to but i would argue that it merits this and gets the message across in a clearer and concise manner. i have read her other books and find them both empowering and uplifting. i disagree that this book should only be for the american market as i think the message is universal and intended for women everywhere to rise up and become all they can be.
on a more personal note, i met holly wagner at a women's conference and she was there to inspire, love, laugh and learn,some might argue that i am biased because of this but holly wagner is the same in real life as she appears on paper!! very few people like her are on the planet today and a terrific read to help you into where you want to go in life. i felt uplifted and empowered after reading this book. i would encourage all women to read holly wagner's books as they are fab!!!!!

Format:Paperback
Despite the striking cover this is a strangely abrupt and disjointed book, evidenced instantly by the author's unusual writing style - almost every sentence that she writes is a new paragraph so sometimes it feels like you're reading a shopping list. Here's an example:
"I read dozens of books.
And I made changes so that I could be fit.
I trained.
So I changed what I ate.
When I slept.
How I exercised.
I became committed to being strong.
I am asking you to do the same.
No.
I am begging you.
Please commit to getting fit.
We need you."
It means the book is actually a lot shorter than the number of pages appear and it's not a smooth read.
The book talks about women learning perseverance using the metaphor of a warrior and fighting and has some helpful stories of people who have, through their faith, persevered. The author herself refers often to her fight with cancer and her own life, although most of the examples from her life are the success she has made of her marriage and rearing her children which can be a bit grating.
This book is published in the UK and it's yet another book that doesn't work across the Atlantic - it's far too American for the British market and the thoughts rather incoherently laid down - or perhaps an overall theme was masked by the strange paragraph arrangement. For the American market its underlying message is no doubt more suitable but it's still laid out in a peculiar manner which doesn't make it a smooth read and somehow means it's difficult for the message Holly Wagner is trying to put across to sink in. One to miss.

LIFE-CHANGING!!!!!!
13 Sep 2007
Format:Paperback
Wow! what a life-changing and inspiring book! Holly Wagner has an amazing way of leaving you feeling empowered, inspired, and encouraged after each paragraph. This is my favorite so far from Holly Wagner. For any of you "chicks" out there going through a battle...you need to read this book.

Warrior Chicks helped me to "rise and be strong"!
15 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback
I have been strengthened and encouraged by other Holly Wagner books but "Warrior Chicks" helped me to see myself as the beautiful, strong, kick-butt warrior chick that God made me to be. Reading about Holly's battle and victory over cancer and her honest thoughts and feelings during that battle, helped me to know that there is nothing I can't face and beat as well. I am so ready to fight the fight. I'm determined to be a major player in this thing called life and I am ready to equip the next generation. Thank you Holly for equipping me...

This Book ROCKS!!!! Absolute MUST read!
17 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback
Hey everyone...this is actually Melissa, not Matt, Mashburn, and I wanted to take a quick minute to tell you that if you only have time to read one book this month that this is absolutely THE BOOK to read!!!
I started this book two weeks ago with a group of chicks in Ft. Lauderdale, and we opened it up online through my Blog and now have over 30 chicks reading, learning, loving, laughing, and growing while they read it.
Holly Wagner has a gift! She writes in a way that you feel like you are sitting on a comfy soaf with your best friend, sipping a Toffee Nut Latte (non fat, of course!), and talking about what it takes to RISE above and become a WARRIOR CHICK!
Life is not always what you expected, and as women we need to be able to roll with the punches, sure, but we also need to know that it is our duty, our right, and our duty to become a WARRIOR, not a whiner!
I would highly recommend this book to any chick who is going through some stuff, has been through some stuff, or is a friend to someone who is! It is great to read with a group, and even as effective individually!
Enjoy...it Rocks!
