Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Women today seek encouragement and affirmation as they confront their own questions, doubts, and fears about womanhood. In Fearlessly Feminine, author Jani Ortlund supplies much-needed answers, calling Christian women to be joyfully confident in who they are before God, to welcome the privilege of womanhood, and to show the world the beauty of Christian femininity for God's glory. Tackling such sensitive subjects as submission and materialism, feminism and beauty, motherhood and marriage, Ortlund leads women to a deeper understanding of scriptural teaching and helps them fearlessly embrace all that God would have them become.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fresh Outlook on the "Old Traditions" for Women of God, August 15, 2000

By A Customer

I picked this book off of the bookshelf at my local Christian bookstore thinking that it was another attempt to convince me to quit College so that I could get married and raise a family. Instead, this book brought me back to the basics of what it is to be a "Woman of God." This book will encourage you to live with an "others first" mentality. It offers an insightful look at living in today's world, and making a difference in our homes, offices, and hearts. "Fearless Feminity" is an enjoyable read for women of all ages. It offers Biblical wisdom that will help you live out God's design for your life, and practical ways to apply these truths to your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fearlessly Feminine, July 1, 2003

By	Mom - See all my reviews

This book was a breath of fresh air and one I would want my daughter to read before she makes a marriage vow. I've taught many women's studies over the years but this is one of the best. It speakes truth and encourages women to take seriously our calling "to affirm and receive and nuture those God brings to us."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bold Stand for Todays Woman, June 20, 2000

By A Customer

In today's world you almost never hear a woman say "I want to stay home and raise my family and be a help mate to my husband as God intended". "Women's Lib" has made it almost impossible for a woman to be a WOMAN as we were made to. This book takes a biblical stand for women everywhere to do what we were created to do. BE A WOMAN. A Wife, A Mother, A Home Maker. Jani stands up and says that this is a viable way for a woman to live. That it is just as gratifying if not more so as working in the work place. It is a must read for ALL TRUE WOMEN.
