Synopsis

There’s a reason you’ve always known God has big plans for you—He’s created you with great purpose.
 
In this transformative, biblically based book, Beth Guckenberger draws on God’s original intention for women to embolden us to use our gifts as full participants at church, at work, and at home. Warrior of Eden explores twenty-seven thought-provoking questions such as: What does “suitable helper” in Genesis 2 really mean? Are we made in the image of a male God? How did the early church treat women? When have I joined men in battle, and when have I picked one instead? Why is the church lagging in this conversation instead of leading? With reflection questions and journal prompts, Warrior of Eden reminds us that God directly empowers women to do His work—not because one gender is superior, but because we’re each worthy of His calling.

This brought up many questions and conversations for me and the people who listened to me talk about it…I’m so glad this book was written!

Goodreads review by Monika on August 04, 2024

I have heard the author speak several times and she is so inspiring and very knowledgeable about the Bible so I had high hopes about this book. The book is more of a journey of her thoughts around women and their role. It is still good and brings up some good questions but I expected more.......more

Goodreads review by Kelli on March 08, 2024

Liberal, egalitarian, so I’m not impressed. It isn’t that I disagree with everything in this; in fact, I found myself agreeing with much of what she said. The insight into the hebrew meaning of helper in Genesis (warrior-helper) was nice, but…. This wanes a bit gnostic when we have an entire volume......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on March 10, 2024

I didn’t really enjoy much of this book. The author seemed to lean in the direction of women can do as much as anyone and the church is holding them back from reaching their full potential. I also believe some scripture was taken out of context as well.......more
