Eve in Exile and the Restoration of Femininity

De: Rebekah Merkle

Narrado por: Rebekah Merkle

The swooning Victorian ladies and the 1950s housewives genuinely needed to be liberated. That much is indisputable. So, First-Wave feminists held rallies for women's suffrage. Second-Wave feminists marched for prohibition, jobs, and abortion. Today, Third-Wave feminists stand firmly for nobody's quite sure what. But modern women - who use psychotherapeutic antidepressants at a rate never before seen in history - need liberating now more than ever. The truth is, feminists don't know what liberation is. They have led us into a very boring dead end.

Eve in Exile sets aside all stereotypes of mid-century housewives, of China-doll femininity, of Victorians fainting, of women not allowed to think for themselves or talk to the men about anything interesting or important. It dismisses the pencil-skirted and stiletto-heeled executives of TV, the outspoken feminists freed from all that hinders them, the brave career women in charge of their own destinies. Once those fictionalized stereotypes are out of the way - whether they're things that make you gag or things you think look pretty fun - Christians can focus on real women. What did God make real women for?

Read it, women!

This is truly one of the BEST books I have ever read or listened to.

Incredible book. Highly recommend!

Funny, convicting, inspiring, and the list goes on!

Personality comes through in the narration. My wife and I read/listened together. Can't recommend enough!

Funny, brilliant, and inspiring!

Best book I've ever read on the condition of the modern womens moment. With humour, courageous honesty, and researched facts, Merkle lays out the historical timeline of the 3 main waves of feminism and how it has subtly invaded our Christian worldview. Feminists have won every battle for which they've fought and screamed, yet they are still miserable and angry. They still want to fight for something, but they've lost their purpose. Why is this? After decades of Christian woman being torn down for wanting to follow our God-given nature, she rebuilds and strengthens our glory-filled calling that emulates the relationship Jesus has with the Father. I am an English major, and I LOVE the way she writes! She builds on each argument with such logic and concise language. Each word she chooses is "spot on!"

Excellent book!!!

This is a book for both men and women to reorient themselves to the proper Biblical roles of women in society! Buy it for all the women in your life!

Eye Opening

This book was absolutely incredible. I will recommend it to every woman I know!

Masterfully Articulated

For married or single women, this book gives a comprehensive theology of womanhood from the pages of Scripture. Definitely a re-read! Need to take notes the second time through!

Phenomenal!

Every American woman needs to read this book! Such a wealth of sound, Biblical teaching along with staggering history I didn’t know.

10/10

Love this book! Listened to it twice and ordered the physical book and study guide!

Important arguments made

Great book if you’re open minded and willing to learn. She makes some fantastic analogies I haven’t thought of before. What we do is priceless, and it’s time we relearn how to value it.

Practical and thought provoking insights

Reframes a handful of the cultural trends that women have experienced or bought into. Practical, eye opening, soul touching argument for how to restore culture and work to build the home.
