Overview

Who decides what it means to be a woman? We’ve been let down by the constantly changing narrative from oppressive men and quarrelling women in a society that is driven by consumerist agendas.   Our creator, God, has only one agenda: our good and his glory. Abigail Dodds’ short, readable book tackles this important topic and shows the beauty of the role that God has created for women. The Bible offers a clear vision for women: in God’s story, we’re victors not victims.   Addressing key questions, this book is crucial reading for any young woman who seeks to glorify God. What does it mean to inhabit a female body, a female mind? In what ways do women reflect God’s glory? What does the Bible say about the role Christian women play?   Contents: From Chaos to Creation and Back Again A Woman Reborn Commissioned With Our Bodies Recommissioned for Righteousness Wholehearted Women Shaped by the Whole Council of God Womanly Virtues and Virtuous Women Romantic Love or Lack Thereof Owning Our Agency What Will Being a Christian Woman Cost Me? Appendix A: What now? Appendix B: Other Books and Resources Track is a series of books designed to disciple the next generation in the areas of culture, doctrine, and the Christian life. While the topics addressed aren’t always simple, they are communicated in a manner that is.   With the intention of the content being absorbed, examined and applied, each chapter includes a summary of the main point, and reflection questions that can be used individually, in 1–2–1 mentoring or in a group setting.
