Book Review: Find Your Brave
By: Lori Buckle | June 1, 2017
Find Your Brave is not an explicitly egalitarian book. It does not address issues such as women in church leadership or the relations between the sexes. Instead, Holly Wagner exhorts her readers to remain strong during times of adversity by drawing upon the strength of God. Her message is applicable, therefore, to every Christian, no [...]
Book Review: Everbloom: Stories of Deeply Rooted and Transformed Lives
By: Diane Fillmore | May 31, 2017
Everbloom: Stories of Living Deeply Rooted and Transformed Lives is a book meant to be sipped and savored. At first glance it looks like it might be a book of writing prompts, but it is really a collection of forty-two short essays and poems written by women from a large variety of life stages and [...]

Strong-Willed Woman. What is your reaction to this phrase?

By: Cynthia Mitchell | May 8, 2017
The Gender Conversation is a book that emerged as a result of a symposium hosted by Marling College in 2015.

Book Review: Marry Him and Be Submissive
By: Cynthia Mitchell | May 8, 2017
In the end, I find that Marry Him and Be Submissive stands as a good account of the author’s life and opinions but in no way reflects biblical instruction on marriage and/or submission. As a fun read about someone’s life = A- As a book about Christian marriage = D

Each story in I Will Follow Jesus: Storybook Bible is retold in an accurate and child- friendly way. Stories are accompanied by a short lesson that relates the Bible to a child's life and experiences

I believe that Eminent Missionary Women, though gently written, is an antidote to unscriptural teaching by patriarchal groups. It is tragic that in our day so many [...]
