About this listen
Popular national radio host Julie Roys rejects both fundamentalist caricature and feminist distortion to reveal God's amazingly relevant and compelling vision for women, showing them how to redeem their feminine souls and become all God designed them to be.
Christian women today feel torn between the demands of motherhood, career, and ministry - and by a church that gives them conflicting ideas of what it means to be a woman.
In Redeeming the Feminine Soul: God's Surprising Vision for Womanhood, popular national radio host Julie Roys reveals the stunning truth that no one else is talking about: Women are destroying themselves. Internalizing society's devaluation of the feminine, some women are killing their own natural impulses to pursue a feminist ideal that bears no relation to God's good design. Other women struggle to conform to a fundamentalist feminine caricature that requires denying their full humanity and gifting.
Defying both feminists and fundamentalists, Julie Roys reveals God's true, affirming, and compelling vision for women, showing them how to reclaim what is uniquely feminine and become healthy, balanced women of God.

What if the goal of raising a Christian girl was about more than keeping her virginity intact? What if it was about raising a strong, independent young woman who knows who she is, uses her voice, and confidently steps into the life God has for her? From the authors of The Great Sex Rescue comes this evidence-based book grounded on surveys of over 28,000 women to offer moms a fresh, freeing, and biblically grounded message of sexuality and self-worth for their daughters that is less about the don'ts and more about the dos.

How did a libertine who lacks even the most basic knowledge of the Christian faith win 81 percent of the white evangelical vote in 2016? And why have white evangelicals become a presidential reprobate's staunchest supporters? Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping account of the last 75 years of white evangelicalism, showing how American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism.

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. 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?

It's one thing to know in your head that you were created in the image of God. Yet it's quite another to experience this belief in your body, against the cultural ideals of a woman's worth. And between the two lies a world of frustration, disappointment, and the shame of somehow feeling both too much and never enough in your body. Jess Connolly knows this inner conflict all too well, and this book details her journey - and yours - of setting out to discover how to break free from the broken beliefs we all hold about our bodies that hold us back from our fullest life.

Extremely insightful. Men should read it too.
All Christians should read or listen to this, in my opinion. So many problems in our families and churches could be improved greatly or totally eradicated if we all grasped these concepts completely. I learned a lot and it was refreshing to hear some of what I believed all along to be explained so much better than before and confirmed to me. Thank you for sharing your deeply personal experiences and your soul for us, Julie. This book is such a blessing, and helps me have much more compassion for anyone struggling with identity.

This book has made me think. Truly. I’ll disagree, then I’ll agree. I’ll balk at a statement, then I’ll go back and re-think it. I’ve listened to the audio book twice in the past few days. I hope that Julie Roys writes a follow-up book! That book would be just as refreshing as this book.

Thoroughly Disappointed
I was looking forward to this book by Julie Roys because I have listened to her radio show on occasion and have appreciated her contemporary Christian perspective on the various subjects she covered. She didn't seem to acquiesce to norms, religious, social or political. So I was expecting this book to be of the same vein. However, in Redeeming the Feminine Soul there was no surprising vision for womanhood it was just newer, updated fodder for "a woman's place is in the home."
God did design man and woman in His image and I agree that each gender does reflect a part of the essence of God. But I don't agree that a woman's inherited essence is solely or even primarily to bear and nature children. God has created women to be capable of many, many things and the desire to do or accomplish things that aren't necessarily "womanly" has no bearing on a woman trying to be masculine or even less feminine, such a woman may just want to -- be. I have zero desire to fight on the front lines in the army and frankly can't understand why anyone would want to but I certainly wouldn't make the assumption that any woman who does is in someway betraying her femininity.
Finally, a radio program host does not a narrator make. She spoke fast and rarely paused for effect or otherwise and there wasn't much variation in the delivery regardless of what she was touching on. Throughout this audiobook I had this vision of Julie Roys standing in front of a classroom reading 100 page research report. That's how it came across to me.

Heart breaking
while their were key points that may be beneficial for some to gain insight from this book. I could not finish this book. I think sometimes along our journey we get so focused on what's wrong with other people or the religious services that we have the choice to attend or not we have completely lost our way from the original Hebrew text and meaning of our relationship with God. As Gentiles being be grafted in through Jesus Christ the western eyes have distorted lots of the scriptures from its original foundation. However, being a believer of the teachings of scriptures of the Holy Bible, for some to use the GD word in any context from the way western culture uses it,is just absolutely unnecessary and heart breaking that even though telling the story of someone else this poor choice of word could have been replaced or just not spoken. The power is in the tongue. We have a choice to give honor to God with it or dishonor. I am sorry for my choice to purchase this book.
