Charisma Media 10 Lies the Church Tells Women, Revised
The gospel was never intended to restrain women from pursuing God or to prevent them from fulfilling their divine destiny. Woman of God, don't believe the lies...in this powerful book you will learn how cultural bias, male pride and misinterpretation of the Bible have paralyzed women who are called to do the work of Christ. In 10 Lies the Church Tells Women, you will discover:
- Why Jesus went out of His way to minister to and disciple women
- Why so many Christian women suffer abusive marriages---and why many pastors don't do anything about the problem
- How "the Proverbs 31 woman" has been misinterpreted to deny women opportunities in the workplace
- How the apostle Paul, who told women in Corinth to "be silent," also empowered many women to be church leaders
- Why we rarely hear sermons about the biblical prophetess Deborah

I had to finish this book out of sheer discipline since I was disgusted with the shoddy scholarism. I strongly disagree with the author's premise, that most of the men who run the church have been lying to women. I think, women, with the help of Lee Grady, are lying to each other. Grady is clearly a feminist who attempts to Christianize his ideology to make it seem biblical. He has not convinced me that the Bible does not teach there are no role distinctions in Scripture. Mary Kassian has written extensively on this subject in The Feminist Mistake.Grady evidently disagrees with the Apostles Paul and Peter. I do agree with the Apostles and want to see churches full of masculine and loving leaders. We do not need a new way to interpret the Bible, we just need patriarchs and matriarchs who obey it.There is no doubt that God gifts women just as much as he gifts men. It is undeniable that women are often given leadership gifts. Should we assume that believers should always get to use their gifts as they want? Isn't humility one of the most mystifying qualities Christ displayed? Let us be meek and quiet in the spirit of Christ's Bride. An example of this is Nancy Leigh Demoss who has authored many books over the years and has a speaking ministry and radio program, and leads Revive Our Hearts. Nancy has many gifts, one of which is leadership. Yet she will not hold a position of authority over a man. Her book, The Lies Women Believe, is biblically sound and relevant without catering to the sinful desire we all have at times to prove ourselves justified, victimized, and entitled. It is true that men have hurt women over the course of human history. And now women are urged to behave like abusive men to take over the roles that they believe they have been denied. The emasculated man will just have to sit in silence. Well, men and women are equally depraved, but I fear my "sisters" may surpass in their abuse of the opposite gender.

This book cuts through traditional views which limit God's disciples in their call to serve Him, whether one is a man or a woman. A great resource and study for individuals or groups.

This was a great book. I grew up in an evangelical church that is very patriarchal. I could not relate what I felt about God and what the church taught about women and their "place". Thank you Mr. Grady!
