review 1: I've read a book or two about Women in the Bible and while they have been good; oh my, this one includes a few that I've never really looked at that close. Most of them have Hannah and Esther and Ruth but this one includes The 5 daughters Zelophehad (which years ago I just happened to run across). The first one that made me run to my Bible to look it up was Achsah, the daughter of Caleb. Please don't get the wrong idea; I really do read my Bible. How many of us have thought that the story of Esther was partially such a romantic story; you might want to re-think that a bit as you read what the author brings out about that. Included are stories of real life women as well. Just so many good insights; so I'm planning on making sure this book is available for some of t... morehe women in my church to take a look at. But to the honest, it's not just for women alone. I have been blessed enough to have a Pastor who saw through the eyes of Jesus and because of this encouraged women to be all they could be. To co-labor with men and the Spirit of the Lord. I received a free copy of this book from Chosen Books, a division of Baker Publishing Group, as part of their book review program, and I am under no obligation to write a positive review.
review 2: To be perfectly honest, not a book I would recommend.Fearless Daughters of the Bible is a book that had a good writing style, but was very much against my personal beliefs. This book talks alot about raising up women to be leaders in churches as pastors and in other prominent positions. The Bible firmly teaches that while women are equal and important parts of the church and family, He has specifically called men to lead in these areas. And while Mr. Grady had some interesting examples, I believe that women like Deborah were the exception, not the rule. So in my mind, Mr. Grady took his conclusions too far for a Conservative, Bible-Believing, Evangelical, like me, and ended up feeling like this was even a dangerous book to be reading.Overall, this was not a book that I would recommend, because quite honestly I felt that what Mr. Grady is doing with this book is dangerous, using the Bible in a way that goes beyond what is plainly written. While it had some nice insight into some of history's strongest and brave women the undertone beneath it all disturbed me. So for me this was a disappointing read. I received this book from the publisher in return for an honest review. less
