How did it impact you?
It gave me a clearer picture of what it means to be biblically feminine and what submission is and is not.
If this book has left you with more questions and a desire to go into greater depth on the subject, check out Recovering Manhood and Womanhood (Crossway, 1990). This larger volume provides in-depth exegesis of relevant Scriptural passages and also more practical guidance on how to live as a biblical female.
I'll end with this statement that really encouraged me--it's the last paragraph of the book, taken from the Danvers Statement (charter statement of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood).
With half the world's population outside the reach of indigenous evangelism; with countless other lost people in those societies that have heard the gospel; with the stresses and miseries of sickness, malnutrition, homelessness, illiteracy, ignorance, aging, addiction, crime, incarceration, neuroses, and loneliness, no man or woman who feels a passion from God to make His grace known in word and deed need ever live without a fulfilling ministry for the glory of Christ and the good of this fallen world.
We might struggle, as women, with the way God has made us and the role He has given us, but that is the fault of our fallen sinful flesh, not His perfect design. God help us all to grow in grace and to become the 'Titus 2 Woman' Gayline has been blogging about.
Next book on the list: Uprooting Anger by Robert D. Jones. Reading starts this Monday and we'd love for you to join us!
