The Accidental Feminist : Restoring Our Delight in God's Good Design

**"My name is Courtney. I'm an accidental feminist."** Although many Christians wouldn't identify themselves as feminists, the reality is that the feminist movement has influenced us all in profound ways. We unconsciously reflect our culture's ideas related to womanhood rather than what's found in the Bible. In this book, Courtney Reissig—a wife, mom, and successful writer—recounts her journey out of "accidental feminism," offering wise counsel for Christian women related to relationships, body image, and more—drawing from the Bible rather than culture. Whether you're a committed feminist, a staunch traditionalist, or somewhere in between, this book will help you answer the question, "What does it mean to be a Christian woman?" You'll discover the joy, purpose and importance that are found in God's good design. Many Christian women wouldn't identify themselves as "feminists."
