10 Lies The Church Tells Women

In this book" Ten Lies The Church Tells Women", J. Lee Grady has sent forth a battle cry to men and women alike. This book calls for men to lay down their prejudices against women and their peconceived notions and teachings of the role of a woman in the church, the family and in general, being a woman. It is a call for women to take their place upon the earth as equal partners to the grace of God along with men. He goes through many of examples bringing line upon line, precept upon precept. The way Grady wrote this book it is a master builder of a house starting with the foundation and building upward. We have for humanity thought of women as the evil one of the curse and that she plays a role as less than human and has no authority in the church or anywhere else for that matter. He gives examples of women and the abuse they have suffered at the hands of a male dominated world. He points out that women were redeemed from the fall just as men were. They can preach, teach and do as men, for in the kingdom of God their is neither male nor female. He calls forth women to obey God and for men to repent and loose women to be all that God has called them to be.

He has cleared up some thought I had about the bible and certain scriptures that say women can't excercise authority over men. It is refreshing and a revelation that would serve the kingdom of God tremendously for men and women alike to read this book and do it with a heart of prayer. Women can be equal partners with men in the work of God. He gives clear examples from the bible on women being used of God to change the course of history for the good of a nation. As he points out, " We are only 50 percent strong in the kingdom when we don't allow women to take their place that God has called them to. There are many women who have obeyed the call who were single and also married, and were able to bring forth the will of God upon the earth. There are horrific examples of how we have used the bible to excuse abuse of women and holding them back from doing what God has called them to do. We must break out of the terrible lie of the enemy and set the women of the earth to do as God has called them and not what we as the church think should be. I strongly desire all to read this book as it can liberate both men and women.
