The Church has not solved the problem of the role of women in leadership. Pretending we have will not help, ignoring the dilemma will not help, continuing in our hypocritical double standards will not... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Immediately captivating, the narrative of Rebekah is a unique and exciting way to cover in-depth study on what the Bible says about the role of women. The exotic setting adds to the interest! The story does slow down a bit due to heavy content in the middle, but your interest is held through it. Also, an interesting portrayal of the dark side of church politics.
REBEKAH IS BRILLAINT
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a must read book. I did not know quite what to expect when I first started the book. But immediately I was captured by the raw humanness and warmth of the characters. Next I was outraged by the injustice and bias shown toward the main character Rebekah, simply because of her gender. And finally I learned a great deal about scripture, how it was written and what was originally intended to say. The interaction between Rebekah and Dr. Aziz is a wonderful way to teach truth. Doug Sparks certainly has a gift for telling a complex story in a fast moving and interesting manner. This is a great book.
