The authors take a fresh look at the gender debate in the church. Rather than roles, the authors examine the Scriptural emphasis on relationships, specifically brother-sister type relationships based on love, humility, and mutuality. Instead of defining structured roles for men and women as argued by complementarian or egalitarian positions, this "relationarian" approach can be lived out in the existing structures of any culture. Focusing on relationships can enable the church to move beyond the divisions of the gender debate. Rather than two camps, complementarian and egalitarian, we can be unified in one camp by focusing on the type of relations that are an attractive missional witnesses to the world.

<p>This book is a fresh retelling of Jesus' interaction with women in the Biblical Stories that invites the reader into the thoughts, emotions, and pain of the characters. The issues they faced: shame, loss, brokenness, isolation, cultural stigma, marginalization, are issues faced by women around the world. Questions at the end of each chapter are designed to encourage the reader to examine and relate the stories to her own life and find hope, healing and love in Jesus. Used in small group Bible Studies the questions encourages safe authentic sharing about issues not often talked about in church settings. A great book to introduce someone to the person of Jesus.</p>
