God's High Calling for Women

By John F. MacArthur Jr.

Book Overview

Women are not inferior to men--so why does the church sometimes treat women as less capable or valued than men?

Women are told to be bold, assertive, independent, and competitive. They are expected to take leadership, exert authority, be bread-winners, and to single-handedly tackle all of life's demands.

God's high calling for women in the church--a topic still relevant for today--is outlined in 1 Timothy 2:9-15

If followed, His plan results in blessing, unity, and glory for God. In God's High Calling for Women, Dr. John MacArthur discusses important concerns for women in the church as outlined by the apostle Paul: their attitude, appearance, testimony, design and contribution.

Complete with questions for review and thoughts for reflection at the end of each section, this thorough, insightful, yet concise study on the important and controversial subject of women in the church will serve as an excellent resource for personal or group study.

Customer Reviews

An Excellent Book

While I realize that Dr. MacArthur cares far less about reviews for his books than "rightly dividing the word" I enjoy reviewing his books nonetheless. This book is a Dr. Mac classic. It is excellent to pinpoint accuracy on God's design for godly women. Those who desire that category get this book and his updated version too. They have more to do with exalting the glory of God than exalting the glory of women. Excellent and scripturally sound.

Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth

I thought this was a wonderful book that doesn't bow to political correctness. As always, Dr. MacArthur remains steadfast in his commitment to Biblical accuracy. Far from being chauvinistic, it celebrates women as God has created them and encourages them to thrive in the roles God has specifically designed for them. He is an easy author to read yet quite thought-provoking as well!
