Jesus Feminist: An Invitation to Revisit the Bible's View of Women

Description: Written with poetic rhythm, a prophetic voice, and a deeply biblical foundation, this loving yet fearless "must read"
(Glennon Doyle, New York Times bestselling author) urges today's church to move beyond man-made restrictions and fully welcome women's diverse voices and experiences.

A freedom song for the church.

Sarah Bessey didn't ask for Jesus to come in and mess up all her ideas about a woman's place in the world and in the church. But patriarchy, she came to learn, was not God's dream for humanity.

Bessey engages critically with Scripture in this gentle and provocative love letter to the Church. It's at once a call to find freedom in the fullness, hope, glory, and work of Christ, and a very personal and moving story of how Jesus made a feminist out of her.
