Radical Womanhood


Aside from the ESV Study Bible I'd recently ordered and waiting on it's arrival, I don't know that there is another book that I've waiting in such anticipation for it's release.



I'm sure part of that has to do with being a follower of Carolyn McCulley's blog and reading how the book is coming together. Another part of it is as one who desires to live a life of Biblical womanhood. Yet realizes the need to be deprogrammed or even to die daily to worldly womanhood. This is a valuable tool for continued growth in this area.

Even among fellow believers or at least those who claim to be, you can find a battle in desiring to live biblically. I recently made a statement to a friend about seeing Da Truth minister a a teen sexual purity conference and how his wife was looking on at her covering as if it were her 1st time hearing him teach. And sharing how beautiful that is and a blessing to see her being taught by her covering and her response to it. And how more importantly it was the word that brought fourth the reaction over the covering himself. The response got into how men need to notice their women teaching them as well and so fourth. We've discussed the topic before so just gave some friendly reminders of husband being head and that doesn't translate into women being doormat etc. Yet it dawned how much is lacking when we don't see things God's way. Women's role is often belittled not biblically, but by those who see a problem with it on the basis of wrong judgement, feminism and the flesh simply wanting to have it's own way. Yet true peace and joy is found in God ultimately so to live out as He desires is what will ultimately bring satisfaction.

Here is a description of the book written on Amazon.com Biblical womanhood is not for the weak. In an age that seeks to obliterate God and His authority, modeling biblical womanhood involves spiritual warfare. Radical Womanhood seeks to equip new believers and long-time Christians alike, exposing the anti-God agenda of the three waves of feminism to date and presenting the pro-woman truth of the Scriptures. Illustrated with numerous personal testimonies, this book will dig deep into the Word and show how it can be lived out today. The foundation and core message of Radical Womanhood is consistent with the traditional complementarian teaching on biblical womanhood. However, the target audience, tone, and style are radically different. Most books on this subject take a heavily didactic tone that assumes an awareness of Christian lingo and a high degree of spiritual maturity. Radical Womanhood has the narrative approach appreciated by postmodern readers, but still incorporates solid, biblically-based teaching for personal application and growth.

Ahhh bring it I tell u bring it!:)
