anniegroover 's review for:

A Year of Biblical Womanhood by Rachel Held Evans
3.0

Funny and thought provoking at times, frustrating and aimless in others. I would love to see this discussion carried on by someone who can handle Biblical exegesis with a bit more skill (most likely Wendy at Theology for Women). True liberation comes from looking at the world (including Scripture) through the lens of the Gospel. What the Gospel is and does is painfully absent from this book. When we understand who we truly are as women-- living in a fallen world and marred by sin-- and what Christ is doing --- making all things new, we can rest in him and not be afraid of losing our rights or not having the power.
