A Woman's Place Participant Guide: A Bible Study Exploring Every Womans Call to Work

by Katelyn Beaty

When it comes to women and work, why do we often divide women according to the choices they make? This eight-week study takes a look at the meaning of “work,” using Scripture and prayer to help us understand that we’re all called to engage in the holy act of work, work that glorifies God regardless of our specific choices.

Reviews

[Sarah Boyette · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a well written book, but it feels like a thesis, not a book. I kept reading and with every quote, I wanted to go read the book she was pulling from, not the book I was reading. It was a good intro into feminism and Christianity, and maybe great for lay people Bible study, but it stayed too surface for me.
