Women of Destiny

This is a special treat from Cindy Jacobs. Cindy's bold approach is not to encroach the male domain, but to reposition women roles to where they should belong in the Body of Christ. She, tactfully, defends the spiritual rights of women, giving classic examples of past and present generals of God who have changed the biased views of women role in the church. She scores great in her personal testimonies. Her transparency and candor will open up more balance voices in today's marketplace where gender is always an issue. Fortifying her conviction with biblical scriptures, Cindy invades the draconian wall of today's belief that women has no place in the House of the Lord. This book will gag the mouth of those who fight only for their selfish interest. Many like to interpret the biblical scripture according to their one-sided experiences or singular cultures. So you can see how the expansive meaning of the scriptural text was truncated by the lack of depth in interpreting by ignoring the biblical culture and environmental context when the scripture was first penned. However Cindy cleverly treat the situation by responding with well research and cognitive facts. Cindy's contents is a healing to wounded female who have been kept backstage for too long. In the same tone, this book also alludes that women when co-exist and co-labor along with men will bring the church potential to the maximum that God intended. So let's take the saddle off the women, they are going places !

This book is very well-written. Unlike many "women in ministry" books, it is actually interesting to read. Jacobs uses her life as the foundation of the story, which definitely adds interest. I appreciate the way Jacobs warns against falling into the "male-bashing" category of feminists. She shows the evil of that, and how to avoid it. I highly recommend this book to all brothers and sisters in Christ.

Thanks Cindy. This book is just what we needed. It is a practical application for both men and women alike. I loved the book and made it a part of my fiance's required reading before he marries me.

A BOOK REVIEW by Bob Jacobs"WOMEN of DESTINY" by Cindy Jacobs Disregard that this review is by the writers' father-in-law. This is a book that was a long time coming and covering a subject long over due. Not only should every woman read this, but men as well. I just couldn't put it down once I started reading. Influence comes to our people in many ways and this book is one. As part of our sense of shared humanity, we instinctively try to motivate one another in hopes that the attempt will result in a blessing. All women won't be happy with this book and many men will blush with shame as they read this Bible based story. I have known this author for over twenty-five years, read her first two books and am convinced that this is the best of the three. Some people have the innate ability to lift our spirits, elevate our thoughts, instill in us a desire to reach new heights. Cindy Jacobs is one of those people. In my day, this was called leadership. As you read how Christians climb the latter to the top, one rung at a time, you may see yourself in some of Cindy's trials and errors. By all means, read and enjoy.
