Download or read book A Year of Biblical Womanhood written by Rachel Held Evans and published by Thomas Nelson Inc. This book was released on 2012 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller. With just the right mixture of humor and insight, compassion and incredulity, A Year of Biblical Womanhood is an exercise in scriptural exploration and spiritual contemplation. What does God truly expect of women, and is there really a prescription for biblical womanhood? Come along with Evans as she looks for answers in the rich heritage of biblical heroines, models of grace, and all-around women of valor. What is "biblical womanhood" . . . really? Strong-willed and independent, Rachel Held Evans couldn't sew a button on a blouse before she embarked on a radical life experiment--a year of biblical womanhood. Intrigued by the traditionalist resurgence that led many of her friends to abandon their careers to assume traditional gender roles in the home, Evans decides to try it for herself, vowing to take all of the Bible's instructions for women as literally as possible for a year. Pursuing a different virtue each month, Evans learns the hard way that her quest for biblical womanhood requires more than a "gentle and quiet spirit" (1 Peter 3:4). It means growing out her hair, making her own clothes, covering her head, obeying her husband, rising before dawn, abstaining from gossip, remaining silent in church, and even camping out in the front yard during her period. See what happens when a thoroughly modern woman starts referring to her husband as "master" and "praises him at the city gate" with a homemade sign. Learn the insights she receives from an ongoing correspondence with an Orthodox Jewish woman, and find out what she discovers from her exchanges with a polygamist wife. Join her as she wrestles with difficult passages of scripture that portray misogyny and violence against women.

Download or read book Worthy written by Elyse Fitzpatrick and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

And that they will know that God’s love for them is steadfast, unconditional, unfailing and unmovable. And to enlighten the eyes of their hearts to know the plan, will, purpose, mandate and kingdom destiny that Abba Father has ordained for them before the foundation of the world. And to open their eyes so they may know the hope to which He has called them and the riches of His glorious inheritance that He has for them in His kingdom. God has called them to His kingdom for such a time as this, to place glory, honor and favor on them and to give them an inheritance among the family of God and to use them for His glory. And to help women establish the kingdom in their hearts and make them aware of Jesus Christ redemptive work for their life, and that He was sent to atone for their sins and through His blood and sacrificial life there is forgiveness of sin and that He is the way of eternal salvation. And to inspire women all over the world to know their value and self-worth, that they are priceless jewels and queens who were miraculously and wonderfully made in the image and likeness of God, and they don’t have to settle for anything or any kind of treatment. And they don’t have to compromise or lower their standard to be loved. And to encourage women to come out of sin and out of that abusive and ungodly relationship and come to Jesus, the Bishop and Lover of their soul and let Him love on them, clean them up and heal them with spiritual intimacy because He loves them with an everlasting love. His love for them is real, genuine, eternal, free and without hidden agenda. I want to challenge every woman to stop looking for love in all the wrong places and receive God's agape love through His Son. Jesus is the answer to all of your problems and He will quench your hunger and thirst for love. Once you come taste and see that the Lord is good, loving and kind you will be satisfied. I want to ignite women to rise up and take their rightful place in the kingdom of God as a chayil, strong, loving, noble, vibrant God-fearing kingdom woman who will minister to the Lord and serve Him in spirit and in truth. And be a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto the Lord, which is your reasonable act of spiritual worship. I also want to illuminate biblical understanding to women that it is because of the goodness and lovingkindness of God that they live, move, and have their beings, and because of His compassion and tender mercy that they have not been consume by the devil. And that their bodies are for the Lord and the Lord for the body and encourage women to rise up and come out of Mystery Babylon the Mother of Harlot, come out of sexual slavery, come out of the house of bondage, come out of sexual immorality and sexual uncleanness, come out of perversion and adultery. And receive with meekness the engrafted word of God which is able to save your soul and make you whole and complete. And to admonish women of all backgrounds to take a stand for righteousness, holiness, sexual purity, and receive the word of life and the word of hope that gives them everything pertaining to life and godliness and an eternal future. And to pursue peace and godliness because godliness with contentment is great gain, it's great wealth, it's true riches and brings great profit. Jesus Christ is satisfaction guarantee, He is the way, the truth and the life of God. Women don't be depraved of mind and devoid of the truth, but walk in present truth and be chayil in your sexual character, spirit, soul and body, and set your heart ablaze and ignite a passion to be zealous for spiritual things and to seek the kingdom and God, and be fervent in spirit and love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and love yourself and your neighbor as yourself. This is a clarion call for all women all over the world to come out of darkness into God's marvelous light and to turn from the power of Satan to the power of Jesus Christ and be translated into His kingdom and have a godly, sound, calm, well-balanced and renewed mind, and a transformed, caring, loving and pure heart.
Download or read book About My Life and the Kept Woman written by John Rechy and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited memoir by “one of the few original American writers of the last century” is a testament to the power of self-acceptance (Gore Vidal). John Rechy, author of City of Night and The Sexual Outlaw, has always known discrimination. Raised Mexican-American in El Paso, Texas, at a time when Latino children were routinely segregated, Rechy was often assumed to be Anglo because of his light skin, and had his name “changed” for him by a teacher, from Juan to John. As he grew older—and as his fascination with the memory of a notorious kept woman in his childhood deepened—Rechy became aware that his differences lay not just in his heritage, but in his sexuality. While he performed the roles expected of him by others—the authoritarians in the US Army during the Korean War, the bigoted relatives of his Anglo college classmates, or the men and women who wanted him to be something he was not—he never allowed them to define him. The “riveting” story of a life that bears witness to some of the most riotous changes of the past century, About My Life and the Kept Woman is as much a portrait of intolerance as of an individual who defied it to forge his own path (The Advocate). “Rechy might be called the first bard of West Hollywood.” —The New York Times “A skillfully paced story . . . As a memoirist, Rechy is both participant and observer, and he segues as easily between narrative and exegesis as his younger self did between the lure of the wild streets and the embrace of his traditional family.” —Los Angeles Magazine
Download or read book Eve in Exile The Restoration of Femininity written by Rebekah Merkle and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The swooning Victorian ladies and the 1950s housewives genuinely needed to be liberated. That much is indisputable. So, First-Wave feminists held rallies for women's suffrage. Second-Wave feminists marched for Prohibition, jobs, and abortion. Today, Third-Wave feminists stand firmly for nobody's quite sure what. But modern women--who use psychotherapeutic antidepressants at a rate never before seen in history--need liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don't know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end. Eve in Exile sets aside all stereotypes of mid-century housewives, of China-doll femininity, of Victorians fainting, of women not allowed to think for themselves or talk to the men about anything interesting or important. It dismisses the pencil-skirted and stiletto-heeled executives of TV, the outspoken feminists freed from all that hinders them, the brave career women in charge of their own destinies. Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way--whether they're things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun--Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?
