{the new eve:choosing god's best for your life}




{The New Eve By: Robert Lewis}

"The New Eve" poses the question to women living in our fast paced, consumer-driven society that changed the way I view my purpose in life, causing me to re-examine my thoughts on the idea, "Can you really have it all?" Lewis takes the reader through a historical account of feminism and its rise in the past 60 years from Mrs. Cleaver in "Leave it to Beaver" to today's female executive and compares/ contrasts the model of women in today's society vs. that of our parents. 


The author explores God's core callings of women from the perspective of Eve and the first sin through Mary, the mother of Jesus, who contrasts Eve and presents a model for us as the "New Eve."

My small group just completed this study and I would highly recommend it to a group of young, educated women, seeking to find their core callings. It is a great conversation starter and poses thoughtful questions and leads to deep insight among a small group. I also found the historical account of feminism very interesting as I was born in to a culture where as women, we were seen as equal to men.

The book is an easy read, and I highly recommend it!
