"An amazing book of power, insight, and challenge"Combining feminist readings of familiar biblical texts with personal stories, Julie Faith Parker helps us engage the Bible with both mind and heart--to learn its stories, explore theological ideas, question common assumptions, and grow in our faith."An amazing book of power, insight, and challenge.
