Morung Express News Dimapur | October 21 19th time author, Imtijungla Longchar released her new book titled “The Richest Woman” today at a launch held at Muffets Pantry, Dimapur. The author is a teacher, author, well-known preacher and a resource person for youth, women and family seminars. She and her husband S. Wati, Associate Professor, Discipleship Bible College run Voice of God Ministries. During an interaction with media personnel, Imtijungla stated that she was inspired to write the book with the hope that women regardless of any place or field would be touched after reading it. The author also explained that by “rich woman” she is not talking about big money, immense investments, lands, collection of jewellery or vast property holdings but about God’s outpouring of spiritual wealth. In her book introduction, the author states that the concept for this book sprang up from the noble woman of Proverbs 31:10-31. She adds, “I find that this woman is literature’s most perfect picture of the ideal woman. Her charity, her chastity, her diligence, her efficiency, her earnestness, her love for her husband and children, even her business foresight are brilliantly illuminated in words that rise up majestically form the passage. Her intention, she states, is to present a role model after whom many woman in any era or culture can pattern her life if she desires to live according to the principles of wisdom and the fear of Yahweh. Spread over 13 chapters, the author has taken contents from Proverbs 31:10-31, where she has brought one biblical model of a woman. Choosing Jochebed, Rachel, Leah, Esther, Ruth, Queen Sheba, the Shunammite Woman, Mary the Mother of Jesus etc, she has attempted to re-create these women, so they might be seen as real women. Formally releasing the book was Rev. Narola, President, All India Baptists Women Union and former women secretary of the Nagaland Baptist Church Council. Congratulating the author, she stated, “I can only say that this book is going to be a source of inspiration. I’ve seen the author’s books in many libraries and this is a positive sign. Her writings are also very practical, resourceful and written simply. I believe that the 19th book is going to be another blessing for all women. It is a big challenge to bring 19 books into formation and I find it amazing. I commend the author with her efforts and her gift of writing.” Priced at Rupees 150, the book will be available at all Christian book stores in the North East India.
