Explores the idea that, if all humans are created in the image of God, and if I am Feminine, then God cannot only be Masculine. And because that’s true, what can we learn about God from Her feminine qualities?
This book said things out loud that I have known in my heart and my Spirit to be true my whole life but have never been able to verbalize or put together cohesively. It explores how menstrual cycles reflect cycles of promises in the Bible, the significance of women having sex organs that have no part in procreation but are solely for pleasure (men and most other organisms don’t), the regenerative and resilient nature of female bodies reflected in a God who never forgets us and always rebuilds Her temple, and the importance, no— necessity of feminine community: women to lean on.
Christy writes in a passionate and personable style: it feels like reading a letter from a good friend. She shares her own stories, thinks creatively, and backs everything she states as fact up with Scripture (and sometimes clinical studies).
brb-buying this book for every woman I know for Christmas.
