Defiant: What the Women of Exodus Teach Us about Freedom by Kelley Nikondeha

5.0

I attended a retreat a few years back and Kelley preached Exodus to me in a way I'd never heard it preached before. Looking in the margins and specifically at the women in the story of Exodus brought new life and color to a story I'd been hearing my entire life. I left that weekend changed in a large part because of Kelley's theology. When I saw this book was in the making, I pre-ordered it immediately. I savored my journey through the pages as she unpacked liberation and the subversive spaces women showed up to change the trajectory of history. What a timely reminder.
