Download A Year of Biblical Womanhood: How a Liberated Woman Found Herself Sitting on Her Roof, Covering Her Head, and Calling Her Husband 'Master' AudioBook Free
Strong-willed and 3rd party, Rachel Held Evans couldn't sew a button over a blouse before she embarked on a radical life test - yearly of biblical womanhood. Intrigued by the traditionalist resurgence that led many of her friends to reject their jobs to presume traditional gender assignments in the home, Evans decides to check it out for herself, vowing to consider every one of the Bible's instructions for women as practically as possible for a year. Evans learns the hard way that her quest for biblical womanhood requires greater than a "gentle and quiet nature" (1 Peter 3:4). It means growing out her hair, making her own clothes, covering her brain, obeying her husband, growing before dawn, abstaining from gossip, left over silent in chapel, and even camping out in the front lawn during her period. With just the right mixture of humor and understanding, compassion and incredulity, A Year of Biblical Womanhood can be an exercise in scriptural exploration and religious contemplation. Exactly what does God truly expect of women, and is there really a prescription for biblical womanhood? Come along with Evans as she looks for answers in the wealthy heritage of biblical heroines, types of elegance, and all-around women of valor.
