Book Description
Understanding Isn’t Overrated. Ask any woman—most of us know what it’s like to be misheard, mischaracterized, or misrepresented by family, friends, or strangers. Few of us feel deeply known and understood all the time. Worse, many of us have endured long, painful seasons of misunderstanding in which the people around us have questioned—or worse, judged—our motives and actions. We have asked ourselves, How do I correct these misperceptions? Do I try to defend myself—or does that only make me look guilty? How can I recover my joy even if someone believes something about me that isn’t true? This problem—and your feelings and questions about it—is nothing new. In fact, women have faced it since the dawn of time. In this engaging book, Mary DeMuth tells the tales of ten women in the Bible who were misunderstood in their own time and often still are—bringing to each of them a deep humanity that makes her, and her problems, more relatable to twenty-first-century you. If you are struggling with feeling misunderstood, let these stories inspire you to grow and remind you that you are not alone. And remember: There is always One who understands you perfectly and stands ready to comfort, strengthen, and defend you through every situation you face.

The Silencing of God's Woman

Languages : en
Pages : 49
Book Description
Is the Apostle Paul a bigoted sexist?Why does he seem to say two different things in the same letter to the same people?Does Paul (and, since it is in the Bible, God) really desire for women to keep complete and utter silence in the presence of believing men?These questions, and more, have plagued the church for centuries. Unfortunately, you don't have centuries to make an informed decision. In fact, you may only have a few moments to study this topic and the books and resources on this matter can be enormous (500 pages plus) and intimidating (how can I study that, spend time with my family, work 50 hours a week, go to church, etc.?). Plus, they may even look a little boring. This short book will help you obtain pertinent information in an easy to read, light-hearted yet well researched manner.

Through His Eyes
Author: Jerram Barrs
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433518767
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Eve, Sarah, Deborah, Mary, the woman at the well... women have played pivotal roles in redemptive history. Their case studies reveal God's perspective on women, then and now. Few biblical teachings have been as misunderstood and muddled by those inside and outside the church as its instruction concerning women. Through His Eyes answers the question "What does God think about women, and how does he treat them?" by walking readers through several biblical case studies. Through His Eyes begins with Eve and a series of Old Testament examples that demonstrate the respect God gives to women and their significant place in salvation history. In the New Testament we see how God blessed Mary by calling her to be the mother of our Savior and how beautifully Jesus treated women. Here is a happy exposition of the dignity and glory the Lord showers on women. The author encourages women to delight in their creation and calling, and he challenges men to honor women as does the Lord himself.

Dynamic Women of the Bible
Author: Ruth A. Tucker
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 9780801016103
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Though we often focus more on the male heroes and villains in the Bible, the pages of Scripture are brimming with women who are edgy, strong willed, and controversial. Far from the stereotype of sweet and submissive, many women of the Bible steal the show despite being cast in the supporting roles. What parts did these women have in the vast family of God? What challenges did they face that we face even today? And what can we learn from them if we allow them to be the three-dimensional people they really were? In Dynamic Women of the Bible, the lives of more than fifty biblical women are summoned from their graves to live again by the author who brought you The Biographical Bible. Scripture references, biographical profiles, sidebars (featuring twenty additional women of the Bible), discussion questions, and life applications make this book perfect for small groups, Bible studies, book clubs, and personal reading.
