Redeeming Eve: Finding Hope Beyond the Struggles of Life

Rating:
Summary: A beautiful book that awakens the heart.
Review: Dr. Webb's book offers a refreshing look at the struggles women face as they step further into their own beauty, strength, desire, and freedom. She considers the cruelty women often experience from other women when they begin to dream for themselves, the ache of desire when there is no certainty that the desire will be fulfilled, and the challenge of staying in dialogue when one feels so marginalized. Many books today focus on telling a woman how to become more healthy. Perhaps in contrast, Redeeming Eve offers women the opportunity to reflect on the dreams they have put on hold, and the calling they have to not only receive healing in their lives, but to be women who uniquely bring healing into the lives of others. Each chapter ends with questions which serve to prompt reflection - as such, it would make a great book for a discussion group. It appears deceptively simple - it is easy to read and comprehend - but when one brings one's own life to the book, one finds that what is being discussed touches on very deep and sacred places in the heart.
