What do you know about the 'Women can have it all' conference, by Susan Sly that was in Toronto. This appears to be a self empowerment movement, and they are very evangelistic.

So I stopped reading their books. I recently purchased a book called The 4:8 Principal, the Secret of a Joy Filled Life by Tommy Newberry. Would you please advise if his motivational teachings are aligned with biblical teachings."
