jessicatelian 's review for:

A Year of Biblical Womanhood by Rachel Held Evans
5.0

This was the second time I read this, and it was even better than the first! I think that every Christian woman should read this book. In it, Rachel examines so many Bible-based ideas that evangelicalism has pushed a very specific interpretation of, and asks hard questions. Many Scriptures are looked at in light of the Biblical culture of the time, and Rachel isn't afraid of tipping sacred cows. With humor and vulnerability, Rachel takes us along on her year, and offers a great perspective on many of the women mentioned in the Bible. I learned so much, and was challenged in many ways. I know you're with Jesus now, Rachel...but eshet chayil! In putting together this book, you truly are a woman of valor.
