Women: Gods plan not man tradition

I loved this book. It used biblical references for the toughest traditions. I agree with this book. The book will free millions of women who feel like God thinks they are nothing.

Great News for a Half-Paralyzed BODY...!

I've read this several times, and I've been honored to have "sat at Joanne's feet" many times, hearing her teachings as well. It's enabled my husband and I to see in writing, what we already knew in our hearts -- that God meant us to be partners, not a hierarchy. That just as Eve came out of Adam (having been already created as part of him, and then brought out, AFTER the creation was finished, and after God had rested), so, too the Church (the Bride) was hidden in Jesus from before the foundations of the world, and WE were brought out of Him (coincidentally, on the 8th day). That's how kephale was originaly meant as "source"... and reflects how marriage is meant to be a relationship, not an institution. Yeah, that works just fine with Ephesians 5:23 -- pretty cool, huh Theophilus? ;) (I recommend reading "The Shack" http://theshackbook.com/ by William P. Young, and "God's Ultimate Passion" by Frank Viola for yet more of an expose of that theme...!) This book will challenge your presuppositions, along with a few millennia of male-dominated overlording, but if you have eyes to see, and a heart to discern the heart of God, it will be a refreshing blessing to read. Very insightful rendering of all those supposedly "sexist" verses of Paul (the apostle) - putting them into a very practical and understandable context that brings congruence to his letters. The Body of Christ, which is hemiplegic (half paralyzed), due to women being squelched for far too long, needs to be set free to be all we can collectively be -- and it just may begin with setting women loose to be ALL that God called each of us to be!

Great book. preach it sister.

"cleverly steers". One thing I have found in the hierarchial viwepoint is that often strawman arguments are used in defense of their belief system. For example, in the previous reviewers statements "The truth is that neither men or women are equal. They are DIFFERENT. Are apples equal to oranges? Is black equal to white? Women and men have specific functions in this Universe as indicated to us by God. We need to just relax and obey those designs." so basically, if we don't follow this man's pre-determined decision about what and how women are to behave according to his standards, then we are sinning. all of us, men alike. I also am quite appalled at his description of Joanne "nice and sweet, but...obviously as a woman completely mislead and stupid if she can believe she is a person" what is amazing to me is the complete disconnect between "seperate yet equal" and what we now tell women "equal, but not really", it sounds remarkably like what the blacks were told for hundreds of years. the funny thing is you can't have it both ways, you can't talk out both sides of your mouth, though I know the partriarchalists would sure like that. As for the scholarship. I actually find the defense of patriarchy (which is what this previous reviewer is holding to) quite laughable. Coming from a Greco Roman mindset trying to understand a VERY Jewish Paul, I guess you are going to come to very different conclusions. However, I venture to guess that Paul was more Jewish than Roman ;)
