A Year of Biblical Womanhood by Rachel Held Evans
4.0
I'm very sad to have discovered Rachel and her writing after she's passed away, because her character and voice are so refreshing and uplifting.
This book was hard for me to get behind at first, since I have struggled recently with Conservative Christians' social stances, being a strong Christian myself. However, by the end, I really understood Rachel's purpose of going through this Year of Biblical Womanhood, and I think it brings up a lot of important issues that women of this century should be thinking about. The bible teaches women to be empowered because they have gifts just like men do. Rachel did a good job of communicating this, but I think she could've stressed it even more at times.
And I wish she stressed how some of the "biblical" things she did come more from our culture's interpretation and are not truly taught in the bible at all.
