Product Description
Product Description
We are called to be women. The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman. For I have accepted Gods idea of me, and my whole life is an offering back to Him of all that I am and all that He wants me to be. Elisabeth Elliot is one of Christendoms most able and articulate writers. In this new book, Let Me Be a Woman, she couples her own observations and experiences of life with her careful, lifelong study of the Scripture. The book is subtitled Thoughts on Womanhood for Valerie, and is the gift of this talented mother to a daughter on the threshold of her own marriage.

Buy a copy of this book for your daughter!,
By Elizabeth (Dunwoody, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let Me Be a Woman (Paperback)
By the end of the first chapter in this book I felt like chearing. As a young teenager, this book let me know that it IS okay to be a woman like God designed me to be. Elisabeth Elliot did a wonderful job writing this book - she's funny and serious and gets her point across through both styles of writing. Now I'm in my late teens, have read this book several, several times, and will take it to college with me so that I can continue to read it. I'm so glad that my mom encouraged me to read this. Out of all the books she ever wanted me to read, this one is in the top 5 list of books that have affected my life the most. My daughters will read this when they reach their teen years, and I hope many other mothers will buy this book for their daughters as well. At the close of the book, I wanted to chear "Let Me Be A Woman!" In my early teens, it was so important and such a relief to realize that how I was made was the way GOD wanted me.

Let me be an individual!!,
By jadoree@usa.net (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let Me Be a Woman (Paperback)
In the world of the fundamentalist there are only two ways a woman can be ...a sterotype and for God or a rebel not conforming to sterotypes and roles which is viewed as being against God. Everything about my personality,abilities and temperment run up against the writers narrow view of what a woman "should" be. If you are a woman with a strong personality,a sexual being and able to do higher maths..you might not want to read this book because it is sure to make you want to hate every fundamentalist you have ever met.I don't go around hating people but this group of Christian sect is so sexist and generalistic that it makes one want to become anything they don't want you to be! Women are individuals,,,we don't all have the same low level feminine abilities,..sarcasism there,and we don't all have a problem figuring our lives out without a man...and we don't all have visions of love and romance dancing around in our heads!

Burned Out Housewives, look no further!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Let Me Be a Woman (Paperback)
Decided to review this book finally: Every copy I ever loan out never comes back, so I'm ordering 5 or 10 copies for friends getting married or already married. I was an on-the-go career girl till I got married: Self sufficient, self-supportive, and probably too self-indulgent. After I made the transition to stay at home mom (six kids), I thought I was losing my mind. This book gave me the refreshing, God centered perspective I needed to find and changed my life. So many women rush around trying to do things to validate themselves outside their home, that they miss how hugely important their role is in the home. This beautiful look at a woman's feminity will change your life.
