God's Pitcher And Other Spiritual Thoughts

WISDOM FOR LIFE – Volume One

Have you ever encountered someone blessed with the gift of wisdom, a simplicity and purity that emanates from their being? Gloria Baird embodies such a person. Throughout her life, she has graciously imparted God's wisdom to women, leaving a profound impact on many lives.

In the foreword of her book, Tammy Fleming shares the story of a women's discipleship group led by Gloria, held weekly in the early hours of the morning:

It was a living demonstration of Gloria's "pitcher analogy" in action. Consistently, she allowed herself to be filled through her daily immersion in God's word, prayer, and His guidance through relationships and life's challenges. Then, with unwavering faithfulness, she poured out the riches of what she had learned, understood, and experienced to those women. Her approach was so relatable that all who attended testified to being transformed for the better in those brief moments spent together each week.

It is through countless encounters like these over the years that Gloria was selected to pen the inaugural volume of the "Wisdom for Life" series of devotional books for women. Deeply rooted in the biblical principle of older women teaching the younger, Gloria exemplifies this mandate in her life and in her writing, imparting wisdom with grace and compassion.
