Does God Love Women too?
Peggy Sands grew up in East Tennessee's Bible Belt hearing a quiet but persistent message under the sermons: that women were made from man, for man, and somehow less in God's eyes than he was. Decades later, when her own daughter called asking the same question a new husband had just planted in her heart - are women really less than men? - Sands realized how far that lie had traveled, and how much damage it was still doing.
Does God Love Women Too? is her answer, built from Scripture, from Hebrew and Greek word study, and from her own life. Walking from Eve's creation ("built," not merely formed, from Adam's side) through the women who shaped Israel's history - Deborah, Esther, Abigail, the Proverbs 31 woman - and into the Gospels, where Jesus stops for the bleeding woman, defends the woman caught in adultery, and entrusts the first Easter sermon to Mary Magdalene, Sands makes a sustained case that Scripture has never treated women as an afterthought.
She doesn't shy away from the harder questions. What does biblical submission actually mean - and what does it never mean? Why does Scripture warn against a "Jezebel spirit," and how is that different from silencing a strong woman? What do you do when your husband isn't walking with God? Woven between the chapters are Sands's own stories - a marriage that couldn't survive her pursuit of God, a season of loneliness that nearly cost her everything, a lifetime of watching God protect and provide for her in ways she couldn't have engineered herself.
Part Bible study, part memoir, part corrective to teaching that has quietly wounded generations of women in the church, this book is written for the woman who has ever wondered if she's loved by God the same way a man is - and for anyone ready to hear a clear, resounding yes.
