"This book looks at the topic in an engaging way through the use of many personal stories. Issues jump out of the chapters. An excellent resource for group discussion."
--Ted Koontz, Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary
Christian women and men experience life differently. By adulthood, we understand what our culture expects for masculine and feminine behavior. Recently we have seen huge shifts in how men and women relate. What is our response?
In this thought-provoking book, male and female writers tackle important subjects: What does the Bible have to say about gender? What does it mean to live in a female or male body? How do we create homes and relationships that value men and women equally? How does gender intersect with race or age? How do we raise children in nonsexist ways?
As we work with such questions, we explore what it means to be women and men together in the church and community. Discussion questions follow each chapter.

"A stimulus for Christian education classes, small group studies, and personal reflection."
--Gwen M. Groff and Eleanor Epp-Stobbe, MCC Women’s Concerns, in the Foreword
