Let Me Be A Woman

by: Elisabeth Elliot

discription: a four-star book on Amazon.com (where link takes you to)

Heather has read this book...
"This is an amazingly powerful book for girls/women because it draws a beautiful picture of Biblical Feminity, something I think is going extinct quite rapidly. Even growing up in a Christian home, it's not always obvious (atleast to me) how the Scriptures instruct women directly. I was challenged to, yes!, be submissive, among other things, but in such a good way. I can't really explain it but it's not your stereotypical woman-as-the-doormat type thing. EE points out the awesome and powerful submission of Christ on the cross, as well as the beautiful relationship between Christ and the Church, as examples of the hidden strength and power a woman who loves God and loves others can have."
