odin45mp 's review for:
A Year of Biblical Womanhood
by Rachel Held Evans
I wanted to get a lot out of this. I really enjoyed Jacobs' A Year of Living Biblically and was excited to see a woman's perspective, due to all the extra laws heaped on women. This was not that book.
Evans' picks and chooses which rules to follow, focusing on a subsection each month, rather than trying to follow every last regulation the whole year. This left me feeling a bit cheated, as a reader. Her strength as a blogger shows here with the end-of-chapter looks at key women in the Bible and what we can learn from their stories today.
The best part, for me, were the 10 "resolutions" or takeaways that she is going to carry with her forward from this year. Those I found insightful as someone who is also liberal and Christian here in the Bible belt of the USA.
Worth reading, but you can skip to the end and read the 10 takeaway points if you get bored in the middle.
