Synopsis

What does the Bible say about periods?The average woman has 500 periods in her lifetime. And whether yours are mildly annoying, utterly debilitating or emotionally complicated, most of us have at one time or another asked: Why?! This warm, light-hearted, real, honest and at times surprising book gives a biblical perspective on menstruation, as well as a whole lot more. Beginning with periods, Rachel Jones takes readers on an adventure in theology, weaving together wide-ranging reflections on the nature of our bodies, the passing of time, the purpose of pain, and the meaning of life. One thing is for sure: you’ve never read a Christian book quite like this one. Whether you’re in need of hope and help, or are just downright curious, you’ll be refreshed and encouraged by this book. As Rachel puts it, “Whoever you are, my aim is that you reach the end of this book celebrating who God has made you, how God has saved you, and the fact that he speaks liberating and positive truth into all of life’s experiences (even periods)”.

Goodreads review by Katie on May 07, 2021

I feel a little unfair giving 4 stars, as the main reason is "I'd have liked it to be a little more in-depth" and the title explicitly states that it's a *brief* theology of periods, but I do think it could have stood being a little longer. Still an excellent read and I'd recommend it - a delightful......more

Appreciated this biblical look at an often ignored topic in the church at large. There is so much poignant biblical symbolism in the female experience. 🤍......more
