Publisher's Summary

The swooning Victorian ladies and the 1950s housewives genuinely needed to be liberated. That much is indisputable. So, First-Wave feminists held rallies for women's suffrage. Second-Wave feminists marched for prohibition, jobs, and abortion. Today, Third-Wave feminists stand firmly for nobody's quite sure what. But modern women - who use psychotherapeutic antidepressants at a rate never before seen in history - need liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don't know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end.

Eve in Exile sets aside all stereotypes of mid-century housewives, of China-doll femininity, of Victorians fainting, of women not allowed to think for themselves or talk to the men about anything interesting or important. It dismisses the pencil-skirted and stiletto-heeled executives of TV, the outspoken feminists freed from all that hinders them, the brave career women in charge of their own destinies. Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way - whether they're things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun - Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?

this has broken my barriers.

well that was not what I was expecting . I will have to process and chew upon the information and learning gained for many years to come I would suspect. I have stood with ministry equality and as a pastors wife have been comfortable in my study and understanding but I will be taking some time to further pursue the Scripture and resist the women's lib movement which I know has invaded the church as well as the home... but did not see how it had been embraced in my own thoughts. thank you Rebekah for not mincing words but also being clear that there is such an incredible for women in all God has laid out for our world. ( just FYI. I am 50 this year and literally grew up with strong (child friendly) influence of the liberation movement thrust on my new Christian parents by my very liberal extended family members) I am so honored to walk in a different way with different understanding than my parents had available as first generation Christ followers... yet this influence has been accepted even in my life in some ways.

I feel exhorted... not reprimanded or shamed, but encouraged to come and see how Good God really is. that He is more than I had previously understood because of blind spots I had not been able to identify.

thank you. may the Lord strengthen you heart with this encouraging word.

blessings, Cara

Will Listen Again

I resisted listening to this book for a while, but now Im not sure why I did. This book is packed with so much truth. I felt both called out and encouraged to take action. I think I will be returning to it again many times.

The book I didn’t know I was looking for!

I believe it was providence that brought me to this book. I immediately ordered it once I finished listening to a podcast with the author being interviewed on Simple Farmhouse Life(if I remember correctly). Previously, I had never known of the woman on the podcast until it came up as a result of a search I made about homemaking. This book has endowed me with the capability to quell my anxieties in certain areas and ask for new capacity in others. I’ve already been a homemaker for 20 years but it’s not always easy - especially doing it alone (as in no community).
I will definitely be recommending this book whenever I have the opportunity to do so. Thank you so much!
