Our daughters and sons are bombarded with messages about the source and nature of a woman’s worth. Both the culture at large and Christian subculture paint stereotypes of the most valuable (or least valuable) versions of womanhood. Both cultures can be guilty of devaluing women. How can Christian parents raise daughters to look beyond stereotypes and embrace the strength and dignity that are their spiritual heritage and biblical calling?

Free eBook by Rebecca McLaughlin: ‘Jesus Through the Eyes of Women’
If the women who followed Jesus could tell you what he was like, what would they say?
Jesus’s treatment of women was revolutionary. That’s why they flocked to him. Wherever he went, they sought him out. Women sat at his feet and tugged at his robes. They came to him for healing, for forgiveness, and for answers. So what did women see in this first-century Jewish rabbi and what can we learn as we look through their eyes today?
In Jesus Through the Eyes of Women, Rebecca McLaughlin explores the life-changing accounts of women who met the Lord. By entering the stories of the named and unnamed women in the Gospels, this book gives readers a unique lens to see Jesus as these women did and marvel at how he loved them in return.
