Publisher's summary

What does the Bible say about the value of women? Does the Bible teach that women are as valuable as men, or does it portray them as somehow more flawed, more suspect, or weak and easily deceived?

Beginning from Genesis and working all the way through the story line of the Bible, Worthy demonstrates the significant and yes, even surprising, ways that God has used women to accomplish his kingdom goals. Like men, they are created in his image, and their lives reflect and declare his worth. Worthy will enable and encourage both men and women to embrace this true and lofty vision of God’s creation, plan, and their value in his eyes.

Best-selling author Elyse Fitzpatrick and pastor Eric Schumacher together invite women to embrace a transformative and empowering view of their Maker, themselves, and the church. But this isn’t only a book for women. It is also a book for men, especially leaders, who want to grow in their understanding of God’s perspective on women, people who normally make up the majority of their congregations. Men might be wondering if they’ve missed something amid the abuse scandals that are rocking the church. Might the headlines they’re reading today about abuse have their roots in a denigration of the value and worth of women?

Worthy: Celebrating the Value of Women will help every listener see the value, place, and calling of women through study questions and a “Digging Deeper” section that will help men and women discover how to cherish, value, and honor one another for God’s glory.

Interesting read

I wish I had had the time to read this book for myself instead of listen to the audiobook. The recording felt very jerky. The content was heartfelt and comprehensive - perhaps even on the side of too much information.

Very helpful and eye-opening

This book has helped me see ways that I have wrongly jumped to conclusions about women without seeking to understand where they're coming from. It has helped me to really see how women have been de-valued by men or in our society, and really makes me want to learn more about womens perspectives, struggles and experience of life. I was especially encouraged by how they looked at God's value for women and men in the Bible as fellow humans made in God's image and partners in sharing the Gospel.

Great recording

The narration was very well done by a male narrator and a female narrator, reflecting the authors' contributions.

A valorous clarification of a woman’s worth according to her creator

I am moved by the courage that both authors had to have in order to face their short sighted views on women. I am left feeling loved, affirmed, validated, and most importantly hopeful that God is able to grow redeemed men and women into a family! A must read.

Worthy

I found this audible book so refreshing and easy to listen to.
There are so many needed but generally under emphasized truths written/spoken in this book. It is my hope that many men would read it, as well as women.
It was striking to me how long the list of "firsts" was and how our Sovereign God saw fit to purpose to include women in so many firsts in His Word. I can't help but think He was trying to make a point to a patriarchal society that we still haven't quite gotten to this day. It's taken me a long time to see it as I saw it as self-serving to even consider anything but the patriarchal view.
I really appreciated Eric's letter to Rachael Denhollendar in one of the appendix. I respect his humility and confession.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't a feminist or egalitarian book. iIt's a deep look at Scripture without over emphasis on the ones people tend to always over emphasize. ha. Just read/listen to it. You'll be glad you did.

Every Christian man should read this book.

Especially those of you that thing you don't need it. I can honestly say, you've never studied what the Bible says about women like this before.

We needed this!

What a time-appropriate, thoughtfully, and genuine book. They address hard things and encourage us toward Christ in our responses. I'm so grateful I took the time to listen. I will surely be purchasing this one, and handing it out like candy.
