graggirl 's review for:
A Year of Biblical Womanhood
by Rachel Held Evans
I really enjoyed this book. It stands in stark contrast to the American expectations to Christian womanhood but in agreement with what I have known Jesus to say about being a woman. I was super skeptical when I received this book as a gift. I think this fad of people trying something for a year and writing about it is a money making, mocking, scheme that lacks genuineness. SO I really enjoyed reading about her authentic quest to delve into questions that have haunted my faith. I was also worried that reading this book would leave me feeling more guilty and with more baggage than I already have being a female Christian in the US. But, instead I found a well researched approach to some standards and teachings that are used to further hold women back in the church. This book was liberating and authentic. The author was genuine, curious, and able to approach assumptions, and teachings that have held women back.
