Synopsis: Written with poetic rhythm, a prophetic voice, and a deeply biblical foundation, this loving yet fearless book urges today&’s church to move beyond man-made restrictions and fully welcome women&’s diverse voices and experiences.A freedom song for the church. Sarah Bessey didn&’t ask for Jesus to come in and mess up all her ideas about a woman&’s place in the world and in the church. But patriarchy, she came to learn, was not God&’s dream for humanity. Bessey engages critically with Scripture in this gentle and provocative love letter to the Church. Written with poetic rhythm, a prophetic voice, and a deeply biblical foundation, this loving yet fearless book urges today&’s church to move beyond man-made restrictions and fully welcome women&’s diverse voices and experiences. It&’s at once a call to find freedom in the fullness, hope, glory, and work of Christ, and a very personal and moving story of how Jesus made a feminist out of her.
