When We Were Eve: Uncovering the Woman God Created You to Be

Did not read. it was a gift.

I haven’t read it yet. It is for a book study in March.

Sorry, they were gifts and I have not received any feedback from recipient.

I received my books quickly and am thrilled! Quality and selection is excellent!

The writing about Eve in Eden and also God's working on molding Mary and a new story for us through the birth of Jesus, God Incarnate, is so profound to me. The author manages to include so many things which are contemporary in women's lives today but this language particularly resonated with me, page 60, "And the truth is, there are those who would vilify the nakesness of our need and our attempts to meet it--who would judge us for the choices we make in caring for ourselves and declare them all wrong, not spiritual enough, too medicalized, too selfish, silly, or any other manner of things that would make it seem easier for us to put our fig leaves of shame back on and make our way into the bushes to hide our nakedness." I am purchasing two more copies--one to mail to my daughter and for a friend who has gone through a lot too. I deeply am appreciative and thankful to Colleen C. Mitchell for writing this book and sharing her wisdom, experiences and all the theology in it and for Franciscan Media for publishing it.
