I had skimmed a couple of the Amazon reviews. It's offensively feminist! I believe that women can be apostles, evangelists, pastors, teachers, and prophets but there must be a better book on the subject.

you won't know until you try, I'm betting there are a variety of interests,
for instance, I'm reading A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of high fantasy novels by American author George R. R. Martin as we speak.

Re: AFF Book Club?

Blaise Pascal, Pensees, an excerpt:

“The God of Christians is not a God who is simply the author of mathematical truths, or of the order of the elements; that is the view of heathens and Epicureans. He is not merely a God who exercises His providence over the life and fortunes of men, to bestow on those who worship Him a long and happy life. That was the portion of the Jews. But the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of Christians, is a God of love and of comfort, a God who fills the soul and heart of those whom He possesses, a God who makes them conscious of their inward wretchedness, and His infinite mercy, who unites Himself to their inmost soul, who fills it with humility and joy, with confidence and love, who renders them incapable of any other end than Himself.

All who seek God without Jesus Christ, and who rest in nature, either find no light to satisfy them, or come to form for themselves a means of knowing God and serving Him without a mediator. Thereby they fall either into atheism, or into deism, two things which the Christian religion abhors almost equally.”
