Woman, Thou Art Loosed! began as one of Bishop T.D. Jakes' most popular books. Realizing the need to continually empower women outside the pages of his book, Jakes created one of the most successful global women's conferences. Since the conference's inception in 1996, Jakes has become one of the most popular Christian leaders in the U.S. For decades Jakes has brought inspirational and motivational speakers to the stage to help women around the world be loosed from a myriad of strongholds including depression, guilt, loss of faith and helplessness.
