With grace, humility, and confidence (even in the unknown), Sarah Bessey's Jesus Feminist masterfully humanizes one of the most controversial topics of the day., Jesus Feminist summons the Church to join in a conversation about women in God's Kingdom. Sarah Bessey disarms us and then hands us a cup of tea. She creates a safe space for deep discussion, gentle reflection and holy imagination. She calls, converses and commissions us into the wild ways of Jesus. This is a holy invitation for all my sisters to come to the table at last. A must read!, World, meet Sarah Bessey. Settle in and get to know her because this woman has arrived. Reading Jesus Feminist is like drinking a warm cup of tea while taking a cold shower--Bessey manages to comfort the reader and wake her up at the same time. I cried and nodded and said 'preach, sister!' again and again. Bessey is a treasure and a prophet and I've notified all of my friends (both men and women) that Jesus Feminist is a must read., "For some time now, feminism and Christianity have been bedfellows, but primarily in the halls of academia. What Sarah Bessey does is claim the voice of feminism for her own Christian faithe"an evangelical faith, no less! The result is a powerful and empowering narrative that both men and women will find compelling and readable.", eoe Jesus Feminist is a revelation, a genre-defying tour-de-force that soars above the caustic rhetoric that has defined these conversations in the Church. Sarah Bessey throws combinations like a literary Muhammad Ali: sharp-edged prophetic critique, elegant poetry, theological provocation, humble memoir, endless charm. There is so much heart, wonder, and most of all authentic soul in this book; you wone(tm)t know what hit you.e, For some time now, feminism and Christianity have been bedfellows, but primarily in the halls of academia.

The result is a powerful and empowering narrative that both men and women will find compelling and readable., Lucid, compelling, and beautifully written. This book will encourage women everywhere to take their high place in Christ., Sarah Bessey makes me want to get to know Jesus all over again, but this time specifically through my womanly flesh, engaging God with the glorious gift of being a woman rather than in spite of it., I love writers who are insightful enough to be cynical but choose not to be. I love books that help me see things I'd never noticed before-in life, in myself, in others, in the Bible, in Jesus. I love writing that makes reading enjoyable and easy, because I know how hard it is to write that way. For these reasons and more, I love Jesus Feminist . It's not 'just a woman's book.' In fact, it's the kind of book that will help both women and men see how unhelpful that distinction is., "If you never imagined yourself as a card-carrying Jesus Feminist, this book will give you second thoughts. Sarah Bessey makes her casee"not as a fire-breathing debatere"but as a woman utterly captivated by Jesus who will stop at nothing to follow him. Her winsome writing made me laugh, cry, and stand taller as a woman. Unless Ie(tm)m mistaken, it should swell the ranks of Jesus Feminists too. Sign me up!", "World, meet Sarah Bessey.

Bessey is a treasure and a prophet and I've notified all of my friends (both men and women) that Jesus Feminist is a must read.", Bessey's warm and intimate writing sets this book apart from others focused on similar topics. Her approach and style offer a unique addition to literature on women's role in Christian churches., It's hard to navigate an extremely delicate and important issue with gentleness and intention. In Jesus Feminist , Sarah Bessey has clearly proven herself a master at the task. Bessey powerfully, yet gracefully, compels both genders to rethink the role and value of women in the Christian faith, and emboldens women to know and live out that intrinsic value within the Body of Christ.

But what makes Jesus Feminist so fantastic, so challenging is Bessey's ability to be both the friend who tells us the truth about womanhood inside our churches and the sage who shows us how Jesus embraced equality and how we can do it better. With Jesus Feminist , Bessey is a modern-day Moses, seeking to not only free a Church held captive by dogma but also to redeem generations of women who have been stifled and silenced far too long., World, meet Sarah Bessey.

With honest vulnerability and a strong biblical foundation, Sarah Bessey shares her very personal journey and insight regarding the roles and qualifications for women in ministry., Sarah says she doesn't feel a call to preach, but she speaks with the fire and artistry of a great preacher. Her sermon is one of hope: though the Church has often ignored the voices of women or lumped them into one limiting category, a revolution is coming.

And may it be a summons for men in the Church to speak less and listen a lot more., If you never imagined yourself as a card-carrying Jesus Feminist, this book will give you second thoughts.

Synopsis
Written with poetic rhythm, a prophetic voice, and a deeply biblical foundation, this loving yet fearless "must read" (Glennon Doyle, New York Times bestselling author) urges today's church to move beyond man-made restrictions and fully welcome women's diverse voices and experiences. A freedom song for the church. Sarah Bessey didn't ask for Jesus to come in and mess up all her ideas about a woman's place in the world and in the church. But patriarchy, she came to learn, was not God's dream for humanity. Bessey engages critically with Scripture in this gentle and provocative love letter to the Church. It's at once a call to find freedom in the fullness, hope, glory, and work of Christ, and a very personal and moving story of how Jesus made a feminist out of her., Written with poetic rhythm, a prophetic voice, and a deeply biblical foundation, this loving yet fearless book urges today's church to move beyond man-made restrictions and fully welcome women's diverse voices and experiences.
