Selections from reviews and endorsements of Radical Womanhood:
From the foreword by Dr. Wayne Grudem
Carolyn mixes together some great ingredients in this book: 1) a deep and wise understanding of the Bible’s teachings on men and women; 2) fascinating historical narratives about the lives of feminist leaders from the past two centuries; 3) wonderfully encouraging stories about contemporary people who have made a transition from radical feminism, or prostitution, or abusive backgrounds, or marital unfaithfulness, to serving Jesus Christ with deep commitment and joy; and 4) a great writing style that will hold a reader’s interest from the first page to the last. This is an excellent book!
Endorsements
It’s an excellent read and stirring challenge!—Mary A. Kassian
Few voices are speaking the truth contained in these pages—but so many need to hear it. Amidst our culture’s radical confusion about womanhood, Carolyn teaches the radical truth of God’s wise and gracious design for women.—C.J. and Carolyn Mahaney
This book is the fruit of her journey. Her keen observations and thoughtful analysis explain the seismic shift brought about in our culture by the feminist revolution.—Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Carolyn was once deeply influenced by feminist thinking, but came to see the bankruptcy of that worldview. She wants you to understand why much of what women learn about what it means to be a woman in today’s culture (whether it is taught in college, read or heard via the media, or assumed in society) leads to a dead end. More importantly, she wants you to know why the Bible’s view of womanhood inspires joy and peace.—Ligon Duncan
Radical Womanhood is a subversive message of a better way for women. With courage, clarity, history and stories that stick, Carolyn delicately dismantles the shrines of feminism with the glories of biblical femininity.—Dave Harvey
Carolyn McCulley combines solid research along with engaging personal testimony (her own and that of others) to give a clear picture of feminism’s influence over the past two centuries. Carolyn traces the first, second, and third waves of feminist ideology, and discusses how these ideas have influenced all of us more than we might have ever known. The foundation of this discussion is God’s Word, and Carolyn regularly demonstrates how God’s eternal truth is the answer to feminism’s questions and confusion.—Bruce and Jodi Ware
This is a book that needs to be read by all women--and by men too!—Iain Duguid
Reviews
In this well-researched and provocative book, McCulley examines the history of feminism, exposes the overtly anti-Christian beliefs held by many feminist activists, and explores the impact feminism exerts on contemporary society. As she scrutinizes today’s social mores in light of biblical teaching, she paints a picture of womanhood that is radically different from both the culture and many presupposed ideas of what’s expected of Christian women. Fascinating testimonies and McCulley’s personal writing style transform what could have been an academic tome into a profoundly inspirational guide. This is a much-needed book that will transform a woman’s thinking about herself and her world.—CBA Retailers+Resources
