Reviews of So Long Status Quo
Endorsements
“What an amazing book. With equal parts inspiration and application this is a must-read manual for any woman who wants to trade her ordinary life for one that is God-breathed and extra-ordinary. After reading this, I want to go feed the poor, climb a mountain, and maybe even clean out a closet or two.” Kathi Lipp, national speaker & author of The Husband Project
“Susy gives us both a wonderful synopsis of the lives of nine amazing women, and the tools needed to put those lessons into practice in our own daily lives. She weaves her own practical experiences into the story and challenges us to be creative and find ways to make a difference in today’s world. A challenging and inspiring read, good for individual or group study.” Betty Southard, Speaker, Executive Vice President of CLASSeminars, author of The Mentor Quest, Come As You Are, & The Grandmother Book
“An inspiring look at how one woman took to heart the lessons of sacrificing possessions, sharing her faith, and practicing self-denial that she found in the lives of famous women such as Eleanor Roosevelt and Jane Austen. As author Susy Flory was changed by reading about these historical figures, so you, too, can’t help but be changed, and challenged to think differently about the everyday comforts of life most of us take for granted. A powerful book that challenges readers of all ages to get off the couch and give of themselves in ways they never thought they could.” Lynn Bowen Walker, author of Queen of the Castle: 52 Weeks of Encouragement for the Uninspired, Domestically Challenged or Just Plain Tired Homemaker
“This is a great book! In So Long Status Quo, Susy Flory writes about nine amazing women who changed Susy’s own life, as well as the world. With her unique style and warm-hearted stories, she brings these courageous women to life…women like Harriet Tubman, Rosie the Riveter, Jane Austen, and others. Susy also gives practical suggestions on how we, too, can make a difference in the lives of others today. I highly recommend this book to those who wish to be encouraged, and to those who wish to become encouragers to others.” Denise George, author of 24 books, including What Pastors Wish Church Members Knew & The Secret Holocaust Diaries–The Untold Story of Nonna Bannister
“Reminding us that history is just as much “herstory,” this book not only inspired me with well-told stories of courageous women who really did change the world, but also challenged me to do the same. Susy Flory’s own brave stories of how she’s followed in the footsteps of these great women takes this collection much deeper than mere biography. I highly recommend this book.” Keri Wyatt Kent, author of Breathe: Creating Space for God in a Hectic Life
“Susy Flory captures the essence of authentic Christianity in So Long Status Quo. By weaving the true accounts of inspiring women from the annals of history with her own personal struggles to live a life that is both passionate and purposeful, Susy challenges us to leave our comfort zones and enter the caring zone of selfless living. As an avid student of biography, Susy makes us feel as if we are walking side-by-side these women, learning the how’s and why’s of their personal choices, passionate pursuits and God-given mandates to make a difference in the world. As Mother Teresa once said, “If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.” So Long Status Quo is a love message that needs to be heard. It needs to be read. It needs to be sent out.” Janell Rardon, author of Rock-Solid Families: Transforming an Ordinary Home into a Fortress of Faith
“I loved the vulnerability and step-by-step accessibility of So Long Status Quo. Susy Flory brings the unapproachable saints and heroes of the past closer, linking them to us as sisters, helping us follow their path. Let So Long Status Quo show you how to become a modern day Perpetua, Harriet Tubman, Mother Teresa or Jane Austen.” Jonalyn Grace Fincher, apologist and author of Ruby Slippers: How the Soul of a Woman Brings Her Home
“More than just an inspirational storyteller, Susy Flory is also a hands-on leader. In So Long Status Quo, Susy Flory not only takes us on a historical journey through the stories of courageous women—from Mary Magdalene to Rosie the Riveter—but she inspires us with practical actions we can do now to transform our own lives and change our future. Through her own stories, she makes their choices practical and accessible for ordinary women who hope to become as extraordinary as the heroines they read about. Read the book for entertainment. Emulate it to change the world.” Jennifer Schuchmann, Author of Your Unforgettable Life & Six Prayers God Always Answers.
