A Year of Biblical Womanhood by Rachel Held Evans

5.0

I found this book extremely spiritually fulfilling, and for a sometimes hopeless atheist... that’s saying a lot. I think many women have struggled with what society tells us we should be, versus who we feel we really are, and this was a really beautiful (and often funny) exploration of that, through what I’d consider a feminist Christian lens. This book made me want to buy fair trade coffee, send a goat to a family across the world, and made me think about how important it is to consider a wide range of interpretations when it comes to any sort of life guidelines, from the Bible to parenting books.
