Carrie Miles sent God's Word to Women a copy of Male and Female in Christ
shortly after she discovered our website. She requested we review and put it on our recommended list, which we did. Later, Carrie sent us a copy
of her new book The Redemption of Love: Rescuing Marriage and Sexuality from
the Economics of a Fallen World. This fabulous book is reviewed in the Summer 2006 Newsletter.
Carrie came to our first "Gathering" held in June of 2006. We wish you could have been there to have heard her share and join in the
discussion. It was fantastic. At that time she told us of making
Male and Female in Christ available to Africa through PDF files but also to more people. This ministry is from Carrie to all of you. Help yourself to the book, and may God richly bless her for her excellent work.

Male and Female in Christ,
Discover what the Bible really says about Women--and about Men
What's a new millennium-kind of Christian to do? We believe in the
authority of the Bible, but we also believe in the dignity of all persons--male
and female in Christ. This series of Bible studies will help you discover
that these beliefs are more than compatible--that in fact the Bible teaches:
- that God created women not as a "helpmate" for man but as a strength
like him . . .
- the comfort of knowing that God is more than just male...
- how God designed sex to be a difference that brings us together, not
drives us apart. . .
- how the passages in the writings of Paul that appear to restrict the
activities of women in church and in marriage have been distorted to mean
exactly the opposite of what Paul intended. . .
- How Jesus redeems both women and men form restrictions and obligations
that keep us from truly being at peace with ourselves--and with each
other--and how you can claim that redemption for yourself.
The study is presented in 3 printable sections. You may print them off
and use them for a group or for your own individual study. This copy was
designed for the African church, but it works well for anyone. Click below
