Womanly dominion, more than a gentle and quiet spirit

Christian woman take dominion! Play your position! is a call we may hear a coach yell at a soccer or football game. The meaning is: Do what you have been assigned to do, and do it well! Many Christian women have been told over the years that they must quietly stay under their parasols while their men go out and conquer the world. Is this what the Bible really teaches? Author and pastor, Mark Chanski, insists that the Bible tells us a different story. He insists that the Bible teaches a woman to take dominion of her God-assigned role as wife, mother and church helper. This is not in a feminist way, but in a God-glorifying way that speaks volumes of who she is and why God created her. Women should not think of themselves as victims, says the author, but as victors who conquer the realm that their Lord and Master, Jesus Christ has given them.

When I got this book, I looked at the cover and realized a MAN wrote it. I was like: "Great, what a waste of money. How could a man give unbiased advice about women's role?" But he did! You can tell he values women and our role, his experiences with his daughter and wife show it. While I don't agree with all of his doctrine, the book is still very upbuilding and is full of cited texts which anyone could follow along with in their own Bibles. I really loved it, made me encouraged, thankful, content and gave me a lot to think about in areas I should work on. Candice Morgan
