Shattering Our Assumptions - Softcover

size : 5.4 x 8.2

Multiple demands, conflicting priorities, ever-changing roles and circumstances constantly face Christian women having to deal with the realities of their lives. Miriam Neff surveyed 1,000 Christian women who were active in their churches and their communities, raising families, and pursuing careers. Then she analyzed the survey results, gathered census statistics, and waded through the research data. Then she brought on board co-writer Debra Klingsporn and together they listened to the stories of these women's lives. Shattering Our Assumptions is about how Christian women make choices and determines priorities, how Christian women respond to the impact of roles, stereotypes, and expectations, and how Christian women are responding to God's call. What they discovered is a bold new look at Christian women today: their lives, their hopes, their dreams, and their changing roles. Shattering Our Assumptions surveys the four major arenas of work, home, family, and faith. Shattering Our Assumptions offers encouragement to women feeling fragmented by multiple demands, frees women from stereotypes that no longer do justice to Christian women, and shatters a few assumptions surrounding our theological understanding of who and what we are called to be.
