Story5 out of 5 stars 25
"Biblical womanhood" is the idea that the Bible teaches God-ordained male leadership and female submission in the home and subordination in the church. Some say this hierarchy of authority is sufficiently evidenced by examples of male leadership (and lack of female leadership) in the Bible: the first human was male, Israel's official priests were male, most authors of Scripture were male, Jesus was male and chose twelve male Apostles. God is addressed as Father. Wives are commanded to submit to their husbands.

this author does a great job of exploring what the Bible has to say about women. He properly refutes patriarchy and unhealthy teaching about the subordination of women. Although I come from a Complimentarian background, this is a work I highly recommend and agree with!

All My Knotted-Up Life is a beautifully crafted portrait of resilience and survival, a poignant reminder of God’s enduring faithfulness, and proof positive that if we ever truly took the time to hear people’s full stories . . . we’d all walk around slack-jawed.

Story5 out of 5 stars 341
Is humility a Christlike attribute that should be pursued? And even if it should be, can genuine humility actually be attained? Often so practical in application that it is overlooked, the answer is found by studying the life and words of Christ (whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your slave). This little book is a loud call to all committed Christians to prove that meekness and lowliness of heart is the evidence by which those who follow the meek and lowly Lamb of God are to be known.

Andrew Murray brings humility to the forefront of our consideration and helps us realize how basic it is to being a follower of Christ. I can't recommend this highly enough.

This little audiobook is hard to swallow. In it, A. W. Tozer teaches plainly who the Spirit is and why we should desire him but why few of us do. He instructs us in how to be filled with the Spirit but first poses this question: Do you really want to be filled?

Reviewed: 09-22-19
Rachael tells this story in a powerful way. She turns over stone after stone, telling how some members of law enforcement, coaches, USAG leadership, politicians, and others had opportunities to stop Nasser, but did not. She breaks down the institutional problems that perpetuated the abuse (and still do) and shows why it is all too often difficult for a victim to come forward and report their abuse. This needs to be read, and we need to stare in the face of this evil. We need to confront this terrible reality and change it! READ THIS BOOK!

Being a leader means working with people, and that's not always easy! Whether in your office, church, neighborhood, or elsewhere, your interpersonal relationships can make or break you as a leader. That's why it's so important to be a "people person" and develop your skills in tapping that most precious of all resources: People.

Have we been taught to discount the veracity and deeper meaning of our emotional resonance with the world around us? In The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis looks at the curriculum of the English "prep school" and begins to wonder if this subliminal teaching has indeed produced a generation who discount such a nature.

Two great (but quite different) gems from CSL
- By Joseph on 05-16-05
- The Abolition of Man & The Great Divorce
- By: C. S. Lewis
- Narrated by: Simon Vance
Two exceptional works of Lewis.
Reviewed: 06-22-19
I enjoyed the Abolition of Man more, probably because I could understand his argument easier. it's a profound work that is maybe even more relevant today than when it was written. He deals intelligently with our cultural tendency toward relativism and a removal of anything absolute upon which to base our decisions. I highly recommend it!
the Great Divorce will require me to listen again and no doubt read the print copy. it's a deep work in which we are confronted with eternity, our small self-centered bent and a need to become Christ centered.
