About this listen

For centuries, the role of women in the Church has been a subdued one, with many limitations. The time has come, argues Sarah Bessey-who has been called an "accidental grassroots voice for postmodern and progressive evangelical women"- to take a new look at Scripture and challenge old assumptions.In Jesus Feminist, Bessey shares her spiritual journey, which ranges from growing up in a post–gender-debate home to learning about the worldwide struggles of women and the obstacles even a well-meaning church can pose. Through disarmingly intimate storytelling, she tells how she grew to understand the story of God and the vastness of his work through women. Never one to shy away from the hard questions, Bessey engages critically with Scripture and church practices that are often used against full equality and shares how following Jesus made a feminist out of her.Filled with beauty, hard truth, and brave vulnerability, Jesus Feminist urges the Church to stop asking "man or woman" as a qualification for ministry and to start helping everyone find freedom in the fullness, hope, glory, and work of Christ.

"Never strident, Bessy's approach is instead solid and clear.... An excellent choice." ( Booklist)

She did it again! Makes me feel like she is a friend sitting in my living room, loving on me in the wilderness, yet also gently challenging me forward.

Sad that some churches keep women down. Totally not God's plan. Understanding Jewish 1st Century culture changes a lot. Joe Amaral's books and teachings helped me to see how much Jesus and Paul were pro women in ministry! #Audible1

was a very inspiring book I was getting very conflicting messages about a woman's role in serving to this and this was very well presented I found it to be well written and its foundation firmly built on scripture and God's will for us. thank you so much for writing it. the audio was excellent and the narrator's voice was perfectly chosen.

exactly what I needed exactly when I needed it
