Damaging social contradictions, pervasive patriarchal structure,
oppressive gender biases - no wonder women are abandoning formal
religions! But our faith is still important to us, leaving many
conflicted and frustrated in the quest to cultivate and practice our
authentic female spirituality and authority. Rev. Jennifer Crumpton,
author of the popular blog Femmevangelical, takes us on a journey to
find the good news in the gospel of Jesus that encourages us to seek a
different reality of equality, freedom, and wholeness. These stories and
meditations - mixed with theological exploration and a closer look at
church history - are dedicated to those who have searched for themselves
in the Greater Story and been forced to take on an ill-fitting and
soul-killing role to be included. It is a companion for anyone who seeks
a Christian devotional book not written to prove a religious ideology
or uphold an institution, but to prove and uphold our unique
experiences, potential, and worth. Femmevangelical supports the risks,
hope, and faith it takes to follow our instincts, create change, and
find the God we know exists beyond what we've been taught; and to commit
our lives to creating the world in which we were truly made to live.
