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

4.0

I am a huge fan of liberation theology, it speaks to me, and honestly helps me navigate through the difficult portions of the Bible and my faith. I love a good dose of feminism, and this book gave me the much-needed medicine I crave. I found the prose engaging and the storytelling delightful and theologically insightful. I often feel like women were almost mentioned in the Bible as an afterthought so to read the exodus story through the lens of sisterhood was so powerful. The author wove throughout the narrative her own personal stories and struggles which gave the book incredible depth. The best part was that I got to share this journey with a group of amazing ladies that contributed to my understanding and appreciation of the text, and gave me a fresh perspective which enhanced my reading experience.
