The gospel was never intended to restrain women from pursuing God or to prevent them from fulfilling their divine destiny. Woman of God, don't believe the lies...in this powerful book you will learn how cultural bias, male pride and misinterpretation of the Bible have paralyzed women who are called to do the work of Christ. In
10 Lies the Church Tells Women, you will discover:
- Why Jesus went out of His way to minister to and disciple women
- Why so many Christian women suffer abusive marriages---and why many pastors don't do anything about the problem
- How "the Proverbs 31 woman" has been misinterpreted to deny women opportunities in the workplace
- How the apostle Paul, who told women in Corinth to "be silent," also empowered many women to be church leaders
- Why we rarely hear sermons about the biblical prophetess Deborah

This book cuts through traditional views which limit God's disciples in their call to serve Him, whether one is a man or a woman. A great resource and study for individuals or groups.

This was a great book. I grew up in an evangelical church that is very patriarchal. I could not relate what I felt about God and what the church taught about women and their "place". Thank you Mr. Grady!
