Let Me Be a Woman

It is a must book for every Christian woman. It has changed me forever (after ripping me into pieces initially). Whether single, committed, married or considering marriage etc. it is an eye opener for women to discern who they really are & the purpose God made them for. I love the way Elizabeth Elliot has written this for her daughter. She is very honest! All her years of experience, being in the mission field or in a city, being single, married, widowed etc. has been beautifully put in these pages. There is so much to learn from the life of this bold & graceful woman of God. I'd bought this book from a book store few months ago but lost it during a train journey couple of weeks ago (It probably went with the blankets & sheets... but hope another woman finds it & benefits from it). Was so happy to see it in amazon & so ordered it again. :)

Such amazing Book for every Christian woman out there.. It's a must read. This book will nudge You and make you understand the concept of how & why God created a women .

Good purchase

An eye opener

This book is the best one which i have bought and ive been reading this for almost 2 years and it refreshes my soul, I really love Elizabeth Elliot and used to listen to her podcast in Spotify and youtube but holding and reading the one she wrote feels better 🤍🤍

Good Book, excellent delivery

Nice book but too much delivery charge

i want to recommend this book to every woman i know - but unfortunately, i know soooo many will choose to be offended by its content. it will either strengthen your femininity & rattle your feminist side (i should note that i mean the more extreme, modern meaning), or solidify your feminist ideologies altogether. for me, it was the former. & i'm so grateful. i will say, i think many of the reviews claiming this book is "against women" or "spreading harmful messages" are either taking quotes out of context or the point has gone over their heads completely. elisabeth has made such incredible points about men & women being equally valuable, but simply having different roles in life. she also exaggerated that mature men understand that they have their role not from earning it, but from assignment & are called to love well. so much so, to lay down their lives. this is no way made me feel "less than" or "oppressed" or "victimized". i would say it did the opposite. it made me proud to be a woman. personally, i think this book is incredible & i plan to read it several times in the future. men & women are equal in value, but we were not created for the same roles. & that's *more* than okay, it's beautiful. & God's will is the safest place to be. since i tend to have a hard time articulating my thoughts, here are some bullet points. women are a gift. we were quite literally created to be a helpmeet. we are needed. we are necessary. we have a divine purpose. "i don't want anyone treating me as a person rather than as a woman". a point made that i find interesting - we often see women on a mission to prove "we can do everything a man can do!" (which we cannot), yet, we don't often, if at all, see men trying to prove they can do everything a woman can do (which they can't). people often assume that women embracing the more feminine roles is because of the western societal standards. but if that were true, why do we have yet to discover a successful matriarchal society? globally - villages, tribes, etc. have men as the hunters & warriors, & women as the caregivers & nurturers. is it because we were wired that way? freedom lies in God's will, not rebelling against it. "by being a jellyfish, the jellyfish glorifies its Creator, for by being a jellyfish it fulfills its Creator's command." just like a sailboat sails most beautifully when it sails with the wind, not against it. it's fulfilling it's purpose. "if she was going to make her way in a man's world, she had to be a lady." LOVE THIS QUOTE SO MUCH. "you did in fact marry only a sinner, & so did he. it is grace you both need." "snoring is the sweetest sound in the world. ask any widow." this hit my soul. hard. "you can't find the meaning of a rose by pulling it apart." was such a fabulous quote in regards to not digging too deeply into such trivial things.

Buen regalo

This book good for the women of God's guidance. Based on the bible and easy to read. In this deceptive world that the kids deceived to have other genders than male and female, this book reminds and strengthen the role of a woman and surrender the life to the God's the creator.

En des termes très simples, l'auteure présente ce qu'est le mariage et quelles sont les prérogatives de chaque partie (homme et femme; en particulier la femme) pour que celui-ci fonctionne.

Ich mag hier tatsächlich die sehr kurzen Kapitel. Ideal für vor dem Einschlafen und zum drüber Nachdenken. Die Kapitel lesen sich wie "Briefe" der Autorin an ihre Tochter. Wer gut englisch spricht/versteht, kann dieses Buch sehr gut lesen. Sehr schön geschrieben. Es werden zeitlose, christliche, biblische Werte vermittelt, immer wieder gesprenkelt von persönlichen Erzählungen der Autorin - wie sie mit ihrem Hund am Strand entlang läuft z. B. - und Bezügen auf das persönliche Leben der Autorin/Tochter.
