Christian Woman Set Free
$14.95Add to cartSeventeen hundred years is enough! Edwards leads the call to vanquish the inequality of women in the kingdom of God. His weapons of revelation? History, the Greek language, and his own witness of women in churches who are free.
The author challenges Christian ministers to take up the cause of eliminating inequality in the church and dare to discover what happens in the body of Christ when all members function.
The author goes to the root of our present-day Bible translations and lays the axe to the centuries-old tree of mistranslation. You will be shocked to discover that the King James Version does not say what the original Greek text said about women in Paul’s letters (and neither do most other Bible translations).
This book brings to light the mindset that has held both women and men prisoners of misconceptions through the centuries. Reading The Christian Woman…Set Free liberates the reader of any doubt regarding a woman’s place in the kingdom of God. (You will be awed as you see that the greatest friend of women in all of human history, the Lord Jesus Christ, broke all the rules of his day in regard to the treatment of women.)
Best of all, what makes The Christian Woman…Set Free unique is that it is not based on theory, nor is it an intellectual treatise. It is a revolutionary document forged on the anvil of the author’s experiences in daily church life. Edwards writes from a matrix where equality is a way of life and full participation in the church is the territory of both men and women. Edwards give you the practical how-to of the way to experience this freedom in your gathering. There are testimonies in the book of women who experience freedom to share in all the functions of the church. In their churches there is no specific leader, but all are joint leaders.
The Christian Woman…Set Free is a fast paced, high-energy book that takes dead aim at the very foundation of our present-day mindset concerning women and men in church life.

Not tied to any one particular diet, The Dieter’s Prayer Book can be used in conjunction with any healthy-eating program, or on its own.

What happens when evangelicalism meets feminism?

This well-informed, sensitive narrative of women’s experience will be illuminating for anyone involved in the academic theological world.

Whispering The Word
$31.00Add to cartIn the past twenty-five years there has been an explosion of work focusing on women in the Old Testament. However, because much of this work has reflected a perspective that is either uninterested in or hostile to theological implications of the text, many Christian feminists wonder if they can simultaneously maintain their commitment to principles of gender equality and their faith in the Scriptures, particularly the Old Testament.
Writing in response to feminist biblical scholars who approach the Old Testament with a hermeneutic of suspicion, Princeton theologian Jacqueline Lapsley offers Christian feminists strategies to hear the subtle ideas and voices of the less powerful within the Old Testament texts. Reading and interpreting a number of Old Testament narratives in which women are prominent, Lapsley considers how these stories may reflect God’s word for us. In doing so, she demonstrates how the narrative often attempts to shape the moral response of the reader by revealing the intricacy and complexity of the moral world evoked. In this gentle shaping of the reader’s ethical sensibilities, she argues, is where God may be whispering a word for us.

Calorie Queens : Living Thin In A Fat World
$21.99Add to cartJackie Scott and her daughter Diane had tried just about every diet under the sun, from low-carb to low-fat, sometimes losing weight but always gaining it back.

This is not a starvation diet, nor is it a fad. In fact, it’s not really a diet at all. It’s about learning how to eat well for a lifetime from two real women who have been there and are making it work.

Secret Of The Lord
$18.99Add to cartHalf of all Christian women are still trying to find a few close friends in church. They report feeling discouraged, lonely, and depressed. And 66 percent of them say that the church isn’t helping. They approach Sunday armed with a Bible and a mask of happy perfection. They find themselves asking, How can I help others be transformed when I don’t feel the transforming power of God myself? In The Secret of the Lord, Dannah Gresh tells readers it doesn’t have to be that way. There is a verse in the Bible-Psalm 25:14- that writes a prescription for the powerlessness women are experiencing. They will enjoy the adventure of a lifetime as they journey with Dannah around the world to find a place where believers experience “the Secret of the Lord”-a place where the lonely find intimacy, the distressed find joy, the lame walk, the blind receive their sight, and God’s power transforms entire communities. This message will unleash the power of God in the lives of women everywhere. Once they know the power of the Secret of the Lord, they will never look at church the same way again!

Where You Go I Shall
$14.95Add to cartWhere You Go, I Shall is a book that was born of experience and need. The authors, two of whom are widows and the third an Episcopal priest, were participants in a monthly support group for widows and discovered that many of the Bible’s remarkable women-Mary, Ruth, Naomi, Abigail, Anna, Tamar, Judith, and some who are unnamed-are widows. In this book, they tell and reflect upon the biblical stories, offering background for greater understanding, and the two authors who are themselves widows also reflect upon aspects of their own widowhood that relate to the biblical story. The result is a book that will provide understanding and comfort not only for widows but for all who love, care for, and minister to individuals who have been widowed.

Junia : The First Woman Apostle
$24.00Add to cartThe name “Junia” appears in Romans 16:7, and Paul identifies her (along with Andronicus) as “prominent among the apostles.” In this important work, Epp investigates the mysterious disappearance of Junia from the traditions of the church. Because later theologians and scribes could not believe (or wanted to suppress) that Paul had numbered a woman among the earliest churches’ apostles, Junia’s name was changed in Romans to a masculine form. Despite the fact that the earliest churches met in homes and that other women were clearly leaders in the churches (e.g., Prisca and Lydia), calling Junia an apostle seemed too much for the tradition. Epp tracks how this happened in New Testament manuscripts, scribal traditions, and translations of the Bible. In this thoroughgoing study, Epp restores Junia to her rightful place.

2 Views On Women In Ministy (Revised)
$22.99Add to cartThis revised and strengthened edition presents two essays representing the egalitarian and the complementarian/hierarchical views of women and ministry.
From the Back Cover
What does the Bible say about the role of women in the church? With pros and cons on either side of a heated, ongoing debate, no definitive conclusions have emerged. The purpose of this book is to furnish concerned readers with a clear and thorough presentation of the two primary views on women in the ministry so they can better understand each one’s strengths, weaknesses, and complexities. This revised and strengthened edition presents two essays representing the “egalitarian” and the “complementarian/hierarchical” views of women in ministry. Each contributor offers thoroughly qualified insights based on careful biblical scholarship and personal experience. At the end of each of the four essays, a brief question-and-answer section provides further clarification.
