In The Life Ready Woman: Thriving in a Do-It-All World authors Shanti Feldhahn and Robert Lewis asks us women to examine our lives in light of Gods design. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1: Gods Plan and Purposes for All of Us and Part 2: Getting to Gods Best for You. Authors point out that all humankind has been issued a call by God to leave and cleave, be fruitful and multiply and subdue and rule. In addition to our universal call, the book states that women share feminine callings to:
-help
-influence our setting
-nurture life
-bring special wisdom and perspective
-multitask.
As affirming as learning about and embracing these feminine calls may be, women are warned that these callings can leave us vulnerable to sinful tendencies such as manipulation, being controlling, and resisting set limits.
Part two focuses on living in view of our callings and how to be better stewards of our personal gifts by reliance on God.
It addresses the many faucets of womanhood from married women to the older single woman, who each faces a very different set of circumstances. The authors did not sugarcoat the fact that to really live according to Gods design requires self-sacrifice and obedience, which is not always popular or easy.
