NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Have you ever wondered what God truly expects of women Is there really a prescription for biblical womanhood Does the Bibles idea of womanhood have a place in modern Christianity New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans embarks on a year-long study of what it means to live by the standards of biblical womanhood. Strong-willed and independent, Evans couldnt sew a button on a blouse before she embarked on a radical life experiment--a year of biblical womanhood. Intrigued by the traditionalist resurgence that led many of her friends to abandon their careers to assume traditional gender roles in the home, Evans decided to try it for herself, vowing to take all of the Bibles instructions for women as literally as possible for a full year. Along the way, Evans explores the rich heritage of scriptural heroines, models of grace, and all-around women of valor that we come to know in the Bible. She consults with women who practice these ancient biblical mandates in their own lives--from an Orthodox Jewish woman who changed the way Evans reads the Bible to an Amish community that taught her the true meaning of modesty. In A Year of Biblical Womanhood, Evans shares her courageous and often humorous journey of: exploring what a womans place is according to the Scriptures applying the Bibles teachings to day-to-day life, sometimes to literal extremes focusing on virtues like domesticity, obedience, beauty, submission, and grace developing a Biblical Womans Ten Commandments to serve as a guide for daily living Join Evans as she dives deep into the lives of the women we meet in Scripture and redefines what it means to live biblically.
