The Pink Toolbelt - Remodeling Spiritual Life for Women

With the walls of her family falling around her and an ever-present storm cloud of hopelessness overshadowing her, this carpenter from deep in the heart of Texas would begin the most important DIY project of her career.
 
HOUSTON - Oct. 3, 2017 - PRLog -- But this time, it was no building that would be transformed. Her very life would be slowly, but radically changed.

It is through this journey that Mary Dodd, a female carpenter following the Jewish carpenter, presents a practical guide for the everyday DIY woman in The Pink Toolbelt – Spiritual Remodeling for Women (Carpenter's Guide Publishing, October 2017) – leading her readers to their own personal transformation.

"This decision has touched every area of my life. Nothing has been harder to implement, yet nothing has been more rewarding," reflects Dodd. "Because of the changes it has brought to my life, I am passionate about helping others remodel their lives."

Throughout the book, Mary uses analogies from her lifelong work as a carpenter to illustrate and explain the spiritual lessons that she has learned. While some women might read The Pink Toolbelt in one sitting, it is designed to be read and used as a devotional guide. With the questions for application at the end of each chapter, the book can also serve as a great tool in group bible studies and ladies meetings. From learning to use the right tools, serving an apprenticeship, building in stormy weather, to passing final inspection, Mary develops the theme of remodeling one's spiritual life.

The Pink Toolbelt is no study on the theory of spiritual transformation but is a work born out of Mary's life. In 70 daily readings, she will guide the reader through their very own remodeling process, enabling them to more closely match the life they intended to live.

Mary will tell you that she was born with sawdust in her veins. From the rich, black-dirt farmlands of Minnesota, her fledgling instincts were fostered under the steady hand of her father who built the house she grew up in with her 7 brothers and sisters. When her brothers left home, she quickly became his right-hand girl, spending countless hours holding the flashlight, learning the tools of the trade, and assisting him in his next great project. As an adult, she pursued her passion as a carpenter in an industry where less than 2% of the jobs are held by women.

Today, along with her husband Tony, Mary leads Carpenter's Guide Ministries, a non-profit dedicated to rebuilding the lives of others. They both enjoy sharing their story and the principles they have learned at conferences, seminars, retreats, and churches. In addition to The Pink Toolbelt, Mary will release her new marriage primer, Remodel Your Marriage in 2018. She also regularly shares spiritual remodeling tips through her blog (http://www.marydodd.com/blog/).
