Description: The gospel was never intended to restrain women from pursuing God or to prevent them from fulfilling their divine destiny. In his revised and updated book, which includes testimonials, Lee Grady boldly proclaims the truth of the gospel—that men and women are appointed by god and empowered by Him. In 10 Lies the Church Tells Women, readers will discover: • Why Jesus went out of His way to minister to and disciple women. • Why so many Christian women suffer abusive marriages—and why many pastors don’t do anything about the problem. • How "the Proverbs 31 woman" has been misinterpreted to deny women opportunities in the workplace.

Review Summary: Great, Great, Great
Date: 2008-08-19
Details: I didn't know the author was the man associated with Charisma magazine until recently, but this book is fantastic whether you are a charismatic person or not.
Every woman should read it and every man too. I think it's one of the best books on the subject.
Review Summary: Finally Someone Said Something
Date: 2008-03-23
Details: As a young Christian woman and having attended many churches, I have always been told to shelve my gifts and take a back seat to men. I was told that I am not intended to lead and anything I do in that sense is just evidence that I am a rebellious woman. I knew it was a lie and it felt wrong, but I didn't have the words to combat being beat down---now I do. This book is a brilliant work and it took just a heaviness off my soul and I feel that I can breathe knowing that I am following God and don't have ugliness in my soul because I am a woman and that I am not inferior to men. Ladies, and anyone who loves women, please read this book. It is amazing! :0)
Review Summary: Timely Teaching on Women
Date: 2007-06-07
Details: This is a very timely and much needed book examining both the historical and contemporary role of women in the Church and focuses on studying the biblical texts that have been used to justify and maintain male dominance and female submission. It is well written, with clear and concise research and examples to support the author's arguments. Definitely worth a read for anyone interested in women's issues and the God intended role of women in the Church
Review Summary: A Ground-breaking Must Read
Date: 2007-05-28
Details: This is a wonderful book, based on scripture and research that goes back to the original Greek and Hebrew. This is a MUST READ not just for women, but for anyone in or going into the ministry, anyone who teaches religion, anyone who teaches women's studies, and any open-minded man. The "Lies" that Grady outlines in this book are everyday things that women have been told not just since Christianity began, but since Judiasm began. It's about time that someone spoke out and said that women, who are the mainstay of Christianity, are NOT 2nd class citizens, and DO have a place in the church. Read it yourself and see. I found this Biblically based book so facinating that I zipped right through it. As I said, it's about time, and I'm glad it was a man who said it. God bless J. Lee Grady.
