Many Christian books written to women claim to present God's good instructions for their lives. Some expound on the value of marriage and children. Many extol the virtues of the Proverbs 31 wife. A good number teach the value of love, submission, and respect in Christian marriages. Though this book deals with these topics, The Gospel-Centered Woman addresses women from an entirely different perspective. The most important part of the Bible's instructions to women center around the gospel. Jesus' life, death, and resurrection brought about a seismic shift in our understanding of Scripture. After His resurrection, His disciples understood words written thousands of years before with a clarity they never had previously. The good news of Christ illuminates all other Scripture, including instructions to women.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I love this book and can't wait to share it! The Apostle Paul says that the gospel is a power for salvation. In this book, Wendy Alsup shows how this power goes to work to save us from discontent due to unfulfilled desires, defensiveness when confronted with offense, defining ourselves by anything other than our connectedness to Christ, and disillusionment with our less-than-perfect lives."
Nancy Guthrie, author of Hearing Jesus Speak into Your Sorrow and the Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament series.

Going back to the Gospel

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 3, 2013

Verified Purchase

If you are willing to admit it, some of us, our pain and struggles are tied to our own failures. Because we have sought our identity in something else rather than who God is. If this describes you, this short study will be most helpful to draw you back to the gospel. We need to understand the gospel and how to apply it those pain and struggles that we face. Without proper understanding of the grace of the gospel, we will continue our pattern of self-destruction. Looking at Psalm 74 and Proverbs, we are given direction in God's word to apply the grace of the gospel. When jealousy strikes, when hurt feelings come, misundertanding, we can apply the gospel. Our justification in what Christ has done instead of making excuses for the choices we make or anyone else for that matter. Justification is the finished work of Christ, not my what if's or could haves, or should haves, or why me. It is a perservance on our part not a self protection, a willings to face the truth of those deep rooted feelings that trip us each time.

We are reminded that we are children of God who are both passively connected to God and actively encouraged to seek His presence. God does the work, however, it takes great effort to seek and be mindful of his character.

I really loved her take on that

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

I found this author through a google search on the proper meaning of the Fall and how that changed the relationship between man and woman. (Her desire will be for her husband, and he will rule over her.). I really loved her take on that, and so I looked up her work. I chose to read this book first bc our PCA church is big on gospel, and we’ve done several studies on the gospel. I was intrigued at how the gospel is uniquely interpreted by women.

Suffice it to say, I enjoyed the book. It gave me lots to think about. I have pondered how my identity as a Christian woman is in Christ, and I am first and foremost an image bearer of God.

Simply, this book was a great blessing to me. I will return to it, hopefully in a study group next time!

Fantastic Book!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is amazing! Living my life through Gospel lenses has been a prayer of mine over the past few years. As a former Bible teacher and leader of women's ministry, books with solid theological content rather than mere emotional fluff were and still are very important to me. Wendy Alsup seems to have packaged all my prayers and desires for my own heart and other women in this book. And it's not just a one time read; I have revisited this book over and over again. The way it points the reader to Scripture and includes whole passages in context along with showing how it looks in a practical sense in the life of a woman is refreshing and much needed in today's increasingly lukewarm and feel-good brand of Western Christianity. I highly recommend this great work!

Speaks to a "real" woman's heart

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 2013

Verified Purchase

I'm used to the books that encourage women to be super. To be super wives, super moms, super clean, super volunteers, super cooks, super friends (you get the idea). But by the end of those books I'm more tired and defeated than I was when I began the book. This book has been like a good and honest friend speaking into my life, right where I'm at and doesn't give me one more thing to do but encourages me to embrace and rejoice in what's been done by Jesus. I love the emphasis on finding our identity in Christ alone and not in all of those above mentioned "supers". Such a great read and I'm excited to read it again!

Succint. Direct. Relatable. Piercing. Renewing. Written simply for the busy woman who desires to grow in the Lord. Short chapters you get through quickly but need to digest and meditate on with the scriptures. Good material for small women groups, especially for mentoring newbies or as a refresher for yourself.

Required reading for any women in church leadership.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book will take you right to the nerve center of why being a gospel centered woman is so necessary in the local church. Now, more that ever, woman must seek to ground themselves in the gospel for the purpose of biblical literacy in the home and the local church. It's time to pull the plug on mediocre.

I very much like the focus on Christ

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

I very much like the focus on Christ. We really should look at Jesus as our example more than any (even godly) woman. We should also understand what it means in our lives that Jesus did what he did. However, I personally cannot say the book had a big impact on my life. Perhaps my way of thinking was similar enough already... Many good points can be found though.

Biblical Womanhood through the Lens of the Gospel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 15, 2013

Verified Purchase

There are many books out there for Christian women that seek to answer the question 'What does the Bible say about women?'. The answers may be weighted overly towards cultural perceptions at one end or abstract biblical theology at the other. Either way, it doesn't fit comfortably for the reader.
This book helps us - women and men - to see what it looks like to live a gospel-centered life from the perspective of being a woman. Quite different.. "Women need to understand how the gospel equips them to deal with the vast gulf between what God declares to be His good plan for them and the reality of their daily lives." (p3) Read it and find out. Grateful thanks to Wendy Alsup for cutting through to the heart of the gospel as it is lived out in the diverse realities of womens' lives.
