I’m so excited to feature SuperGal vs. God by Lori Hynson as this month’s book giveaway. 
Read below how you can enter the drawing to win a copy!
Here’s what SuperGal vs. God is about:
SuperGal could handle anything life threw her way. Until she couldn’t.
Lori appears to be SuperGal. But privately, she anxiously battles to maintain control over her out-of-control life. She thought she could do anything but felt the pressure to do everything. There was no room for God in her realm.
SuperGal wasn’t looking for love, but when she meets handsome tenor Ben, her battle-hardened heart begins to melt. After only six short weeks, Lori’s joy turns to despair when Ben becomes critically ill. Suddenly, her carefully-constructed world begins to unravel.
As God and Satan line up for the final, ultimate battle for Ben’s life and Lori’s soul, all she can do is stand near the door of the hospital room, helpless and broken. This SuperGal had to face her own failure as she faced this dying man. The fixer needed to be fixed.
SuperGal vs. God tells the riveting tale of God’s work in Lori’s life.
Here’s an excerpt:
December 31, 1999
“What did you say? I can hardly hear you.” SuperGal stabbed at the buttons of the walkie-talkiec lipped to the neckline of her dress with one hand and steered her car with the other.
“The kids’ comedian, the TV guy, hasn’t shown up,” Erica yelled. “And he’s due onstage in fifteen minutes.” My nineteen-year-old daughter, Erica, had been pressed into service as a stage volunteer this evening.
“Are you serious? Give me a break!” SuperGal slammed her hand on the car’s dashboard. “I gave him strict instructions to be there forty-five minutes before his show time. Moron! I’ll be there in five.”
SuperGal threw her car in gear and peeled out into the night. She was on her way to resolve the problem. On her way to save the day.
Again.
It was, gee, only the seventh frantic call from one of the volunteers, and the event was just getting underway.
SuperGal shook her head in disgust. Was there no one else in the world, aside from her, who could follow instructions? Read the emails? Act responsibly?
How hard was that?
She pulled up to the curb in front of the local Catholic school where some of the night’s events would take place. The placard on her dashboard gave her the right to park anywhere she wanted, even illegally, just for this evening.
Power trip, baby! The police knew she was running the show tonight and had given her a special permit as a committee leader.
Once out of the car, SuperGal took a moment to smooth her full-length black evening gown with her hands and push back her hair from her face. As she did, a few sparkles from her dress migrated to her forehead.
Her black Doc Martens ankle boots, paired with the long gown, she thought, gave her an artsy, hipster vibe.
Sure, she could have worn jeans and sneakers, knowing she would be on the run for the entire evening.
But no. Wouldn’t happen. Not SuperGal.
Not only must she efficiently run her corner of the world, but she must look cool while doing so. Besides, the media had arrived at the event in full force. Someone was sure to snap her photo for tomorrow’s newspaper.
It was, after all, a big night.
Maybe one of the biggest ever.
New Year’s Eve 1999. The brink of a new millennium.
And the dawn of a new era for SuperGal.
She knew nothing about that. She knew only that she needed to pull off this huge event tonight. She had spent many hard and frustrating hours over the last seven months making sure it would be perfect.
It’d better be, or she’d have someone’s head.
God
Meanwhile…God put down His pen, satisfied. The plan for SuperGal was ready, but He would implement it ever so slowly. He wasn’t ready to tip His hand.
He would break it to her gently.
SuperGal
Well, at least my own middle-aged version of her, minus any skimpy leotard or patent leather boots. At age forty-five I was still cute. (Attractive sounds so . . . I don’t know, middle-aged.) I was physically active and had lots of life in me. I could rock a cute suit—with stylish accessories, of course—like nobody’s business.
SuperGal? Booyah!
Successful career? Check!
Community leader? Check!
Empty nest mother of two grown daughters and one six-year-old granddaughter? Uh-huh!
Popular, cute, accomplished? Check, check, and. . . you get the picture.
Oh, and tangled in a twenty-five year teenage marriage that had proven unhealthy from the start?
Sigh—check.
But this SuperGal was determined to tackle whatever life threw her way. And she could do it all by herself.
She didn’t need anyone’s help to solve her problems, by golly. She would pull herself up by her bootstraps, as she had always done.
No matter the obstacle.
Heeerrrre’s SuperGal!
Rrroarrrr!
God
God watched then slowly shook His head.
Who did she think had given her the bootstraps?

This sounds like a great book. I can relate to it when I was a younger Christian trying to manage our homeschooling family. It’s the kind of book in which many women will relate, I believe.
Randi, great to hear from you. You are right. This book is especially great for a younger mom. I also recommend it for all women because we all have the tendencies Lori talks about–to some degree (even when someone is my age–in the 70’s!). Thanks for entering the drawing and if you win, I know the Lord will guide you fro passing the book along!
Hi Randi thanks so much for checking in. Believe me when I tell you God had to go to extreme lengths to get this SuperGal’s attention! Have a blessed day!
It’s when our plans get ahead or don’t align with God’s plans for us that the trouble starts. It’s been brewing, bubbling up every now and then. Suddenly, it rears its ugly head. Oh, we can play “whack-a-mole” for quite a while. Eventually, God wins… He always wins. Our question is “How hard do I want to fight against the inevitable?” Learning to surrender to His will and His ways are some of the most difficult lessons to learn in our journey of faith. Can’t wait to read this book and share this young lady’s wisdom with other “Supergals” I know. God’s blessings ladies, and prayers this wonderful book has a great impact for God’s kingdom.
J.D., you always have a way with words. No wonder you’re a writer! Thanks for your metaphor of “whack a mole.” Isn’t that the truth! How wonderful when we submit easily and experience the peace sooner than later. It took me TOO LONG to realize surrender is better! So thanks for the encouraging words for Lori and all of us supposed “SuperGals.” Thanks for entering the drawing.
J.D. I fought hard! I had only a casual relationship with Christ until this storm came into my life. I only trusted in myself to be my own savior. Definitely a scary place. And yes, most women struggle with their inner superheroes in many different ways. Thanks for stopping by!

Lisa, thanks so much for stopping by and entering the drawing. I know you’ll love it and even if you don’t win it, you’ll want to get a copy! God bless you!
Hi Lisa,
Thanks so much for entering! I love connecting with new friends
Super gal met Super God! Now the sparks will fly.
Joanne, thanks for entering the drawing and for your fun comment: “Now the sparks will fly.” How true, how true. Sure glad God can spark us through the encouragement of His unconditional love. Lori’s book definitely inspires us with that message! God bless you.
Joanne, that’s exactly right! The sparks sure did fly! I thank God for never giving up on this stubborn, blinded-by-my-own-superpowers self! I appreciate you checking in!
I love the way she writes, fast, in charge, and ready to slay the world. She drew me into her story at lighting speed.
Estella, you are right on that. The whole book draws you in the same way. So glad you pointed that out. I’ve put your name in the drawing.
Hi Estelle – thanks so much for your kind words! I sure believed I was ready to slay the world, didn’t I? “SuperGal could handle anything life threw her way. Until she couldn’t.” I am so thankful God taught me to use my gifts and talents for HIS glory!
I wish I knew about this book much earlier. Many women will relate with this.
Hi Meghan – it’s never too late! While this story sure is impactful for young women, many out here are still struggling mightily! Some of us hang onto our reliance on our inner superheroes, until God has to step in and let us know who’s really in control. Be blessed, and thank you so much!
Thank you, Meghan, for putting your name into the drawing. I’m so glad the Lord keeps working in us no matter our age. Blessings to you.
Congratulations, Meghan! You are the winner of the drawing. I will connect you with Lori about receiving your copy! Thanks again for stopping by and entering the drawing.
I thank God for winning.
Thank you so much Kathy for the opportunity. May God reward your labour of love.
Reading this inspiring, heartwarming book again, hoping to really take in exactly what I need to do to help myself. God is in my life and always has been but I am trying to get out of the SuperGal syndrome. I am 70 now, lol. I think it’s about time.
Alice, thanks so much for affirming the worth of Lori’s book, no matter what age we are. I’ve put you into the drawing.
Thanks, Alice! I know the SuperGal you are, and pray that every nugget of wisdom in God’s Word will help you every day. Love you, my friend!
Yes, I used to be able to do it all……then I grew older, if you will! Now all I want to do is the will of God and rest! Thanks for writing this book Lori.
You’re speaking my language, Christy. I have some “older” women friends who seem to continue to have wonderful energy, but that isn’t me. It requires seeking God even more to hear what He has for me to respond to, not just anything because it could.I think your perspective is the right one–but really for everyone regardless of age or enegry level. So Lori’s book is truly for everyone and anyone. I’ve put your name into the drawing. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Christy,
I’m so glad that you were able to find rest in God’s plan for you! If you win, I pray this book will be a blessing to you or to another woman in your life who needs to read it! Thanks so much!
Hi Lori,

Lory, this is fun to hear from someone who has read the first edition. Even though I featured that first edition years ago, I still decided to feature this second updated version because I believe the book is so important and relevant. Thanks for putting your name into the drawing hat.
Hi Lory,
Well, I’m a “Recovering” SuperGal, but it is a process, isn’t it? One step at a time! God has brought me so very far and I’m so grateful to Him! Be sure to drop by my website for more insights into the SuperGal Syndrome. So nice to hear from you!
Thanks for sharing an excerpt of this book. Sounds like a keeper. Look forward to reading it!
