How do we live in the world and not of it? How do we fully embrace our femininity without feeling like we’re somehow being demoted as a gender? What does God really say to us specifically as women? How much of our perspective is muddied by current cultural cues and/or Christian cultural cues?

Carolyn McCulley’s book addresses these issues, tracing us back to the roots of feminism, then back to scripture, and then to the present day. She does not shy away from the tough questions but rather presses deeply in, desiring to wring out all that God wants to say to her and to all of us as God’s daughters.

Here’s a brief excerpt from the book:

“Slowly it began to dawn on me that the Bible was not presenting just a new set of rules for successful relationships or a peaceful life. It was presenting an entirely new game – with radically different goals for victory. Winning was living a life that glorified God. Winning was growing in humility. Winning was trusting God and serving others. Winning was cultivating the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galations 5:22-23). Winning was growing in Christlikeness.”
