Excerpt
The book addresses the concerns of women and their biblical solutions. It encourages the reader to think through and articulate feelings, ideas, and biblical truths that will stimulate inner change and their own spiritual growth. The purpose of the book is to help women understand their great value to Jesus Christ as they allow His Holy Spirit to operate in power in the lives. The book is meant to glorify Jesus Christ as it teaches Christian women to effectually minister to others. Its goal is to be an instrument of the Holy Spirit that changes the hearts of Christian women, so that they may show others their love of God and thus become living examples that Love is Victorious. In an overview, the book defines Brotherly Love, Family Love and Spiritual Love. It deals with the subject of Gods love in a broad scope as it is presented in the Scriptures. Jesus Christ was the first in the history of mankind to place special value upon womanhood. The honor that Jesus Christ bestows upon all women down the ages was established when He chose to reveal who He is to a woman before anyone else knew. Jesus announced His Deity to a woman of low estate. In the worlds eyes she was nobody. She was a sinner. She was an adulteress. She was a mixed breed. She was defiled. She was the cast off of man after man. She was looked down upon by the other women in her city. She, no doubt, had a low self image. So, finding her in this needy state, Jesus lifted her up on high forever. He made her His betrothed by His love. By, this act of love, we do know that Jesus Christ honors women to the very highest degree. He gave her honor beyond measure. And thus, Jesus honored all women forever. Jesus loves women, all women, any woman, whatever state she is in when she comes to Him. Jesus walks with women. Jesus leads women. Jesus includes women in His whole agenda for mankind. Jesus bestows spiritual gifts upon women. Jesus appoints and enables the work of women. Oh glory! let the world, dominated by men throughout, see Jesus and follow His perfect example.
