Title Tuesday: The Accidental Feminist

Welcome to  Title Tuesday, my favorite day of the week! This day is dedicated to book suggestions, news, cartoons, and reviews. For 2020 I decided to structure my book reviews by breaking each month into topics. You can find my topics list here. This month we are covering womanhood. So lets jump in!

Today I want to talk about Courtney Reissig's book, The Accidental Feminist.

This book is a careful examination of the insidious ways that feminism has crept into modern day Christian women. Reissig talks in depth about the sneaky and subtle shifts in our thought patterns that stir up strife and cause discontentment in many Christian women.

I LOVE that even though Reissig is a wife and mom, she directly addresses the elephant in the sanctuary. What about women who are not wives or mothers? How do they fit in to the body of Christ? How do they honor God with their time? Reissig also makes some great points about how women that are wives and mothers can do more to foster relationships with the women that are not.

Reissig's chapter on submission is clear and well thought out. She tackles this delicate subject with poise and confidence that many teachers and authors fail to do nearly as well.

In short, Courtney Reissig's book The Accidental Feminist takes on major topics that are causing strife in the Christian church today in an honest, concise, and thought provoking way. I enjoyed this book so much that after listening to it on audiobook I went and bought a hard copy on amazon so I could re-read and annotate the book. This book is a solid 5 star, must read!
