Description: Today's twisted pictures of gender roles create confusion over how a woman should define herself. Women and men are encouraged to move closer to center and away from the traits that distinguish male from female. How can women feel good about themselves when society is constantly dictating what they can and should be? In FIGHT LIKE A GIRL, Lisa Bevere exhorts us to embrace the differences between sexes. Her goal is to encourage women to celebrate the unique aspects of femininity. Instead of trying to adopt ill-fitting character traits, women should see themselves as designed and valued by God and savor their femininity as their strength, not a flaw.
Details: I'm into week 7 and not getting it or enjoying it. Seems more like the author's interpretation of the Word rather than the Word. This isn't a Bible study. What's this business about "hating girls" and "hating being a girl"? Odd concept to me.
I'm pondering not finishing it. I wish my ladies group had offered more choices. If I continue and I finally get it, I'll come back and edit my comment.
Review Summary: Revolutionizing
Date: 2008-06-16
Details: I love Lisa Bevere. Everytime she writes or speaks, I pay attention. In "Fight Like a Girl" I was so transformed. It revolutionized the way I viewed myself as a woman, especially as a woman of God. I try to keep a copy for myself and then an extra copy to give away to any woman I feel led to give it to. I always get such gratitude for it later. I'm also keeping a copy to give to my daughter when she's ready. She's just three months old right now, but that's how much I believe in this book. I want to make sure I have it when she's ready.
Review Summary: Life changing for women of all ages
Date: 2008-03-20
Details: This is a life changing book for women of all ages. We have used this book, along with the DVD teaching, for our women's bible study at our church. The DVD teaching has twelve half hour teachings that are awesome. We invited our teens from the youth group and had a great turn out. It has been incredible to see these junior high, high school and college girls keeping up with the reading and engaging in the discussion time. Those of us that are older have had special times of prayer with the younger girls. We are all so excited about the renewing that is taking place in us as we hear this valuable message. There is no male bashing, it is all about us coming up beside the men and embracing our feminity instead of trying to deny it. It will change your church one woman at a time. Highly recommended.
Details: This book and video series was taught in our women's discipleship group. I appreciated Lisa's depth, her honesty, and her challenge to be strong women of faith, but also strong women in every area of our lives.
