"Is it possible to embrace the inherent dignity of womanhood while still cherishing the Bible?" is the question posed at the back of this book. The answer is a resounding yes! Wendy Alsup does a excellent job of explaining Scripture through a Jesus-centered understanding. She takes the reader through the Bible and answers questions such as "How did Jesus approach the Bible?"; "What was good in the beginning?"; "How did it all go wrong?"; and "Are Peter's and Paul's instructions good for women? " Emphasis is placed on the need to start from the beginning of the Bible to understand God's heart and purpose for women.
I found this well researched and timely book to be very informative
. There are questions at the end of the book to use it in a small group setting. I would recommend this to anyone who is uncertain about how God views women and the feminism that the Scripture models.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
