Book Description
What does the Bible say about the value of women? Does the Bible teach that women are as valuable as men or does it portray them as somehow more flawed, more suspect, or weak and easily deceived? Beginning from Genesis and working all the way through the storyline of the Bible, Worthy demonstrates the significant and yes, even surprising, ways that God has used women to accomplish His kingdom goals. Because, like men, they are created in His image, their lives reflect and declare His worth. Worthy will enable and encourage both men and women to embrace this true and lofty vision of God's creation, plan, and their value in His eyes. Bestselling author Elyse Fitzpatrick and pastor Eric Schumacher together invite women to embrace a transformative and empowering view of their Maker, themselves, and the church. But this isn't only a book for women. It is also a book for men, especially leaders, who want to grow in their understanding of God's perspective on women, people who normally make up the majority of their congregations; men who might be wondering if they've missed something amid the abuse scandals that are rocking the church. Might the headlines they're reading today about abuse have their roots in a denigration of the value and worth of women? Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women will help every reader see the value, place, and calling of women through study questions and a "Digging Deeper" section that will help men and women discover how to cherish, value, and honor one another for God's glory.

Book Description
The twentieth century should be remembered in missions as the time when women got lost. Over that time, the voices of women missionaries, leaders, and facilitators of new Christian movements were all too often excluded from missiological discourse and strategic mission discussion. It is hoped that this book signals a revival in the contribution of women to mission in a way that values what they have to offer.

Book Description
In this timely, much-needed book, theologian, social psychologist, and activist Christena Cleveland recounts her personal journey to dismantle the cultural “whitemalegod” and uncover the Sacred Black Feminine, introducing a Black Female God who imbues us with hope, healing, and liberating presence. For years, Christena Cleveland spoke about racial reconciliation to congregations, justice organizations, and colleges. But she increasingly felt she could no longer trust in the God she’d been implicitly taught to worship—a white male God who preferentially empowered white men despite his claim to love all people. A God who clearly did not relate to, advocate for, or affirm a Black woman like Christena. Her crisis of faith sent her on an intellectual and spiritual journey through history and across France, on a 400-mile walking pilgrimage to the ancient shrines of Black Madonnas to find healing in the Sacred Black Feminine. God Is a Black Woman is the chronicle of her liberating transformation and a critique of a society shaped by white patriarchal Christianity and culture. Christena reveals how America’s collective idea of God as a white man has perpetuated hurt, hopelessness, and racial and gender oppression. Integrating her powerful personal story, womanist ideology, as well as theological, historical, and social science research, she invites us to take seriously the truth that God is not white nor male and gives us a new and hopeful path for connecting with the divine and honoring the sacredness of all Black people.

Book Description
This book was written to remind some and to make others aware that we belong to God, and it is God's right to orchestrate our lives. Men and women were created by God. Since God is the creator, He is the only one that knows what He created us to do and to be. Man should not dictate over others by telling them what they should do; unless, their words are coming directly from God. No one should allow man to manipulate them into following wrong teachings and doings. That is what the serpent did to Adam and Eve. All of God's creation is important to Him, and all was created with a specific purpose designed by God. Although, this book focuses on women, it is written to everyone. The goal of this book is to help everyone see that God has something for them to do, and chances are they will not be fulfilled or happy until they are doing what God created them to do. Women especially are being pushed back, criticized, ignored, silence and abused in today's churches. The majority of Christian women are being emotionally abused by their husbands over church people and church matters. Christian women and their children are suffering due to man's ignorance. This book is written to encourage women that they are somebody; that they matter to God; and that they have callings given to them directly from God. This book's goal is to show women that just by being a woman there are certain things that only they can do and certain ministries that only they can fulfill. The ministry of motherhood is exclusive to a woman. Not only is motherhood exclusive, but what God tells a woman to do specifically is exclusive to her to. No one else should do what God created a particular person to do. The impact is not the same. Mainly, this book is written to encourage everyone, especially women to seek God and find the purpose in which they were created. After finding their purpose, then they should get busy doing what God wants them to do. In other words, people should let God define them, not man.

Book Description
My writing, I Am A Woman, I Am A God (not for women only), refers to the concept that God is within us all, including, women. I write about how women have been the most prejudiced people in history of mankind, even today. I talk about how and why it came to be that most women and humanity in general find it difficult to believe the greater power residing within. I have added other understandings I have gained regarding what humanitys belief is, in general, to having "rights" and what having "rights" really means to us as individuals. In addition, my experiential understanding of "choice" along with the concept that "choice" is limited by our lack of knowledge. Concluding with how the above understandings can and does alter your destiny, I have given some insight into the ability we all have to affect our fate. =========================================================== Sample of each chapter - I Am A Woman, I Am A God, (Not for Women Only), Louise Oliverio, author ================================================== CHAPTER 1 I am a Woman, I am a God For many years I had known that God was within me, that I was a God. I thought I believed it. What I didn't know was that there was an attitude in me, which really didn't believe it. The understanding of that came after many years of study in Ramtha's School of Ancient Wisdom. I came to understand my ignorance in that, somewhere in my subconscious mind, I really thought only a man could be God. Why wouldnt I think that, after all it is what women have always been taught? In all the religions, who is God? A man of course! - Well teaching the word of God couldnt come from a woman because too- man- is the representative of God. Isnt he?? Oh! Andwhat about those Gurus - men too arent they? Popes, Priests, Rabbis, etc. Well, where do women fit in the scheme of things? Are we to be forever subservient to God and man? Destiny by Right Destiny by Right was a hard learned lesson for me. The reason it was so hard was because I hadnt known that I had a limitation as to what I had a right to experience, own, be, love, freedom to express and every other good thing one would want for oneself as destiny. Having been born in the united states of America under the auspices of being free and having unalienable rights under God, one necessarily assumes that means free by right to whatever one wants in life (within the guidelines of moral code of course). I had no reason to think otherwise, until I came to understand by and through my being a student of the Ramtha School of Enlightenment Ancient School of Wisdoms basic and absolute teaching that we are gods, creators in personal reality. Somehow though not all my desires or manifestations were realized. If they were, sometimes it didnt last very long in my experiential reality. I was left wondering, why reality occurred that way for me? What were my limitations? CHAPTER 3 Destiny by Choice Who do I want to be? Where do I want to go? What would I like to experience? With whom shall I share my life? These are some of the many questions, without limit, one could ask oneself but what are the answers?.................................... When the smoke is cleared the question remains where do I go from here? Now that I know I can create anything, what will it be? - That perhaps is the hardest question most of us can ask ourselves. We are only limited by our own understanding and knowledge base. Whatwe dont know exists, we cant dream about. The importance of knowledge, therefore, is clearly seen. We don't know what we don't know! CHAPTER 4 Destiny's Time Line So what is our destiny going to be? Can we change it? I have been taught by Ramtha that we most certainly can change it and do with every thought we have. If, however, we have the same old thoughts, then we have the same destiny we started with unfolding in our lives. Time lines are an interesting su
