Better Together'

How Women and Men Can Heal the Divide and Work Together to Transform the Future

By: Danielle Strickland, Bob Goff - introduction

Narrated by: Danielle Strickland, Gabe Wicks

An impassioned plea and workable solution for women and men to imagine a better world, embrace their differences, find ways to end oppression, and learn how to work better together.

Is it possible after the #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements for men and women to actually find hope and healing and create a better world—together?

We are at a strategic cultural intersection with relationships between women and men eroding. While it is good for women to expose their pain, abuse, and experiences of gender inequity and oppression, what often follows is a never-ending cycle of blame, accusations, denial, avoidance, and, ultimately, devastation for everyone involved.

Better Together is a beacon of hope in this challenging storm. Author Danielle Strickland offers practical steps toward a real and workable solution that include two things needed for change:

• a vision of a better world
• an understanding of oppression

Understanding how oppression works, whether it relates to gender, religion, socioeconomic status, or race, is an important part of undoing it. Let Danielle inspire you to believe that change is possible and equip you with ideas and strategies that will compel you to action.

Accompanying charts are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

'Danielle Strickland is one of the most important prophetic voices of our time. In her new book, Better Together, she brilliantly outlines the current cultural divide between the sexes and then, with visionary inspiration, shows us the way to a better tomorrow. This is a must-read book!' Dave Ferguson Author of Hero Maker

'Danielle Strickland is perhaps one of the greatest minds in Christianity today. Anything she writes is guaranteed to change your life or the way you view God.' Sam Collier International speaker, TV and radio host of A Greater Story

'Danielle Strickland leads the way in addressing a vitally important issue for the church. This book is fascinating, challenging, and timely. It is well-researched and beautifully written by someone who is a role model in the area of unity and reconciliation. I recommend it highly.' Nicky Gumbel Vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton Church, founder of Alpha, author of The Bible in One Year

'Danielle Strickland understands what it means to fight for a better future. She realizes brokenness leads to better stories and difficult conversations lead to better connections. In this book she addresses the inequities and injustices that make it nearly impossible, but even more important to have a level playing field. Whether it's recognizing opportunities to improve or acknowledging obstacles that keep us from being better, Danielle has unusual and compassionate insight. This book doesn't offer easy answers or casual blame. Instead, Danielle insists that we drive toward solutions that celebrate both our differences and our diversities. For Danielle, it's not political; it's personal. It's personal because of the people she's known, the realities she's seen, and the overpowering hope she holds to.' Reggie Joiner Founder of Orange/The reThink Group

'I consider Danielle Strickland to be a world-impacting leader and that just about anything she says ought to be taken very seriously. Better Together is such a book. It is a compelling call to restore the God-given co-agency to women in every domain of society. It's been two thousand years since Jesus set women free from oppressive patriarchy; let's get this done already!' Alan Hirsch Award-winning author of Reframation and 5Q, founder of Movement Leaders Collective, Forge International, and 100 Movements

Exceptional Equality And Equity Discussion

The way everything about gender Equality and equity was presented was fantastic. There are easy ways to implement change given in this book. Let's do something.

Brutally Honest and Equally Hopeful

Danielle Strickland is brilliant in her ability to speak truth into the darkness and shine a light on what lurks there while holding the tension of accountability and redemptive grace. She offers the hopefulness of Christ’s work in us to transform our world and be the conduits of God’s kingdom come here and now, a kingdom where “women and men flourish together.” Such an important read for the times we are facing.

New Favorite Book

Content and narration is fantastic. I will definitely recommend to others and reread/listen personally. Definitely encouraging and challenging!!

The audio production is rough and distracting in sections. There are parts were audio tracks overlap and other parts there are additional noises that take away from the work itself. Parts of the audio do not flow - you can easily pick out the edit poinst. It's surprising it was published like that.
