Women comprise at least half the world, and usually more than half the church, but so often Christian teaching to women either fails to move beyond a discussion of roles or assumes a particular economic situation or stage of life.

Tradicionalmente, el libro de Ruth se considera una hermosa historia de amor entre Rut y Booz. Sin embargo, si uno hurga más hondo, hallará revelaciones sorprendentes: que Dios hace mucho con las vidas destrozadas, que llama a hombres y mujeres para que les sirvan juntos, y que cuenta con sus hijas para edificar su reino.Esta no es la Rut, ni la Noemí, ni el Booz que pensábamos que conocíamos...Carolyn James ha desenterrado nociones nuevas y...

They live in a confusing world, caught in the crossfire between church and culture. Although home and family still remain central, more women than ever, by choice or by necessity, are blending home, career, and ministry. They need strong...
