5.0 out of 5 stars Small package - Powerful message, February 27, 2006

This review is from: The Second Eve: Understanding Biblical Equality (Paperback)

This book is powerful and refreshing. There is so much information in this small book that I will be reading it over and over for years to come. It's not the kind of book to read cover to cover in front of the fireplace. In fact, there were many times that I would read a couple pages and stop so I could ponder what I just read. It's powerful. It will change your life.

This review is from: The Second Eve: Understanding Biblical Equality (Paperback)

The Second Eve is a fresh and honest look at the powerful scriptural support for women's equality, told from the perspective of a woman who herself seeks to understand and apply these truths to her own life. Like an old friend reaching out to the reader over a cup of coffee, Bette's accessible and personal examples fill the book with examples of real life situations of women in the Evangelical Church. The clearly presented Biblical scholarship and the questions for group learning makes this book a good choice for Women's Bible Study Groups. It is a "must read" for Evangelical Women everywhere.
