Description
Who decides what it means to be a woman? We’ve been let down by the constantly changing narrative from oppressive men and quarrelling women in a society that is driven by consumerist agendas.
Our creator, God, has only one agenda: our good and his glory. Abigail Dodds’ short, readable book tackles this important topic and shows the beauty of the role that God has created for women. The Bible offers a clear vision for women: in God’s story, we’re victors not victims.
Addressing key questions, this book is crucial reading for any young woman who seeks to glorify God. What does it mean to inhabit a female body, a female mind? In what ways do women reflect God’s glory? What does the Bible say about the role Christian women play?
