How Does God Really Feel About Women? Listen to some people in church. Watch what they do. It may cause you to assume God views women as second class. Far from it. The truth is, the Bible has story after story about how fascinating women are. They're more nuanced than men, have profound insights we all often overlook, and can teach us wisdom that everyone needs to hear. In Women of the Bible, Peter DeHaan, PhD., digs deep into these Bible stories and uncovers how these women rise above their circumstances-even though society pushes them down. He also explores the women who were powerful, in both good and bad ways, and what we can learn from them. In this book, you'll discover how to celebrate your victories, embrace your virtue, have more compassion for the victims in our world, and avoid the errors of the vicious. It's time for a change. It's time for a fresh perspective. It's time for every woman-and man-to discover powerful truths from the Women of the Bible. Peter DeHaan, PhD, often makes religious people squirm, but spiritual seekers cheer. He's not trying to be provocative, but he seeks truth, even if it makes some uncomfortable. His goal is to see Christians push past the status quo and consider the way they practice their faith in every area of their lives. Peter earned his doctorate from Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary, awarded with high distinction.

He Was Loved. He Was Hated. But He Was Never Ignored. Some people think Jesus was easy-going. Hardly. Everything he did and said sparked passionate reaction. He polarized people.

Discover the surprising things those who loved him did-and how you can do the same. Dig into those who hated him and avoid their tragic mistakes. See yourself in each character-the good and the bad-and face some fascinating choices. Plus, at the end of each example, you'll find a thought-provoking question that will stir you into action. Will this book challenge you? Yes. Will it make you uncomfortable (in a positive way)? Absolutely. Will it change your life as look at the people who surrounded Jesus in a way you've never seen them before? Without question. Let the revelations begin.
