Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women
Elyse Fitzpatrick and Eric Schumacher This is my new favorite book, and I highly recommend it. While reading, I discovered my own prejudices against women, and learned God's beautiful and glorious plan for female image bearers of His creation. God's gospel is taught through the stories of women in the Bible, and fresh insights on God's specially designed purposes for us are expounded. |

Jesus Through the Eyes of Women
Rebecca McLaughlin If the women who followed Jesus could tell you what he was like, what would they say? Jesus's treatment of women was revolutionary. That's why they flocked to him. Wherever he went, they sought him out. Women sat at his feet and tugged at his robes. They came to him for healing, for forgiveness, and for answers. So what did women see in this first-century Jewish rabbi and what can we learn as we look through their eyes today? |

The Gospel of Ruth
Carolyn Custis James This isn’t the Ruth, the Naomi, or the Boaz we thought we knew. Carolyn Custis James has unearthed startling new insights from this well-worn story … insights that have life-changing implications for you. Naomi is no longer regarded as a bitter, complaining woman, but as a courageous overcomer. A female Job. Ruth (typically admired for her devotion to Naomi and her deference to Boaz) turns out to be a gutsy risk-taker and a powerful agent for change among God’s people. |

When Life and Beliefs Collide
Carolyn Custis James Sooner or later, life’s difficulties bring every Christian woman to God’s doorstep with questions too personal to ignore. “Why does God let me go through such painful circumstances?” “Why does he seem indifferent to my prayers?” We’re tired of spiritual pie in the sky. We want authentic, God-as-he-really-is faith—the kind that holds us together when our world is falling apart and equips us to offer strength and hope to others. When Life and Beliefs Collide raises a long-overdue call for us to think seriously about what we believe about God. |
