Super Excited about my NEW Workbook: How to Find and Keep a Good Man!

By India White • October 21, 2025
How to Find and Keep a Good Man — The Workbook Now on Amazon I am excited to announce the official launch of my newest workbook, How to Find and Keep a Good Man, now available on Amazon! This workbook was written to empower women of faith to grow in wisdom, discernment, and self-worth as they navigate relationships in today’s world. Whether you are single, dating, or preparing for marriage, this guide will help you build a strong foundation rooted in biblical principles, self-reflection, and emotional intelligence. Why I Wrote This Workbook Through my years of ministry, mentoring, and personal experience, I’ve seen countless women struggle with finding balance between faith, love, and self-respect. Many desire godly relationships but face challenges such as broken trust, poor communication, or settling for less than God’s best. This workbook was designed as a practical companion to my book How to Find and Keep a Good Man. It provides tools for healing, growth, and clarity so that women can walk confidently in God’s purpose for their relationships. Each chapter includes: *Scriptures to guide your faith walk * Reflections and journaling prompts for personal insight *Prayers and affirmations to strengthen your spirit * Action steps to apply biblical wisdom to real-life relationships What You’ll Discover In this workbook, you’ll explore topics such as: * The difference between a good man and a godly man * How to identify red flags before it’s too late * Building emotional maturity and setting healthy boundaries * How to become the woman God created you to be * Keys to sustaining love, respect, and trust over time Each activity and reflection helps you deepen your relationship with God and prepare your heart for the right partnership — one that honors Him and brings peace, not pain. A Journey of Faith, Grit, and Grace This project ties beautifully into my G.R.I.T. framework — Growth Mindset, Resilience, Self-Efficacy, and Time Management. Finding and keeping a good man requires growth, emotional resilience, confidence in your worth, and the discipline to wait on God’s timing. Through faith and grit, you can attract not just love, but lasting, purposeful connection. Available Now The How to Find and Keep a Good Man Workbook is now available on Amazon . Whether you’re doing this study alone, with a small group, or in a women’s ministry, this resource will help you reflect, heal, and prepare for the love God has for you. ( https://www.amazon.com/)

G.R.I.T. Workbook for Apostolic Entrepreneurs: Strengthening Faith and Endurance in the Marketplace- Dr. India White- TEDxSpeaker!

By India White • October 13, 2025
G.R.I.T. Workbook for Apostolic Entrepreneurs: Strengthening Faith and Endurance in the Marketplace Faith and entrepreneurship are not separate journeys—they are deeply intertwined. The G.R.I.T. Workbook for Apostolic Entrepreneurs is a faith-driven guide designed to help believers walk boldly in their calling as business leaders, visionaries, and kingdom builders. Authored by Dr. India White, this workbook combines biblical principles with her signature G.R.I.T. framework—Growth Mindset, Resilience, Self-Efficacy, and Time Management—to empower Apostolic entrepreneurs to endure, overcome, and finish strong. Rooted in the Word of God, this workbook reminds readers that entrepreneurship is not just about profit but about purpose. Through prayer, perseverance, and discipline, Apostolic entrepreneurs can honor God with their work while transforming communities and demonstrating Christlike leadership. Each page of this workbook points believers back to Jesus—the ultimate example of endurance and grace under pressure. In this workbook, entrepreneurs will explore how faith fuels vision, how adversity refines purpose, and how resilience develops through trials. It teaches how to balance ministry and business, stay grounded in prayer, and maintain spiritual integrity while navigating competitive markets. The workbook’s exercises encourage readers to apply Scripture to real-world challenges—aligning business decisions with godly wisdom and spiritual discernment. Each section integrates powerful themes: • Growth Mindset – Renewing the mind daily through the Word and trusting God’s process • Resilience – Overcoming trials by remembering God’s promises and grace • Self-Efficacy – Believing you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you • Time Management – Stewarding time as a divine resource for kingdom impact The G.R.I.T. Workbook for Apostolic Entrepreneurs serves as a devotional and strategic planner in one. It helps readers reflect, plan, and act with spiritual confidence, knowing that God has called them to be lights in the marketplace. It emphasizes that entrepreneurship, when aligned with the Apostolic faith, becomes an act of worship—a testimony of God’s power to prosper His people and sustain them through adversity. This workbook also includes journaling prompts, faith declarations, and vision-building activities that help believers overcome doubt and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of their faith. It encourages readers to endure to the end, to remain steadfast, and to let perseverance finish its work, just as Scripture commands. The G.R.I.T. Workbook for Apostolic Entrepreneurs will soon be available on Amazon. Visit www.india-white.com for updates, ministry resources, and information on G.R.I.T. Academy’s faith-based leadership programs. With Jesus as the foundation, grit becomes more than endurance—it becomes divine strength in action. Let this workbook guide you in building a business that glorifies God, uplifts others, and equips you to endure until the end.
