Reclaiming Eve : The Identity and Calling of Women in the Kingdom of God

Elaine Bumstead pulls back the curtain on the many ways Bangladeshi Christians are persecuted for their faith. She shares the stories of Bangladeshi children who must come to their own faith as they struggle to understand why their parents willingly suffer for the sake of Christ. Their testimonies paint a picture of unshakable hope. In these pages, you will find more than biographies—you will encounter the God who strengthens the weak and oppressed to become passionate champions of His kingdom. "For many of us, it is Eve's sin that defines her... Truly when the church focuses the entire problem of sin and the destruction of relationships on women, we have a problem." As a woman, do you sometimes feel inferior, resigned to a self-image that seems second-best? Do you feel strong in your faith but wonder, how does God see me? Do you look around and realize you don't fit into a typical mold? Every daughter of Eve faces an identity crisis at some time in her life. And many of us wonder where we fit in on a regular basis. The authors set out to discover what scripture says about every woman's identity. What they uncovered will help women, no matter their stage in life, find freedom to become all they can be in God's kingdom. Whether the reader feels discouraged and damaged or desire a greater understanding of his or her spiritual condition, this book will help readers embrace their identity as people reclaimed by Jesus Christ. Christian women often view themselves negatively and feel that no matter how hard they try—it's never good enough. With razor-sharp theology and personal stories that reveal the identity and potential of every woman, Reclaiming Eve sets the record straight. For tucked into the pages of Scripture is a blueprint for women that sets them free to serve Christ alongside their brothers, as full partners in building God's kingdom.
