To be human means to resist dehumanization. In the darkest periods of human history, men and women have risen up and in many different voices said this one thing: “Do not treat me like this. Treat me like the human being that I am.” Claiming Her Dignity explores a number of stories from the Old Testament in which women in a variety of creative ways resist the violence of war, rape, heterarchy, and poverty. Amid the life-denying circumstances that seek to attack, violate, and destroy the bodies and psyches of women, men, and children, the women featured in this book absolutely refuse to succumb to the explicit, and at times subtle but no less harmful, manifestations of violence that they face.

Prayer is effective when we observe biblical proceedings and respect the laws of God; it is warfare against the enemy of our life and destiny. Curses can be defeated and destroyed when we submit ourselves to scriptural truth. Seeking solutions to matters that are curse-oriented demands that one engage the enemy involved in warfare. Wars cannot be fought to finish instantly without major preparations, and the enemy cannot be defeated or destroyed without effective strategies. For those facing this type of conflict Strategic Deliverance Solutions: Discover and Destroy Ancestral Curses contains the essentials for a rewarding prayer life. Dr. Pauline Walley-Daniels informs, trains, and equips God's army before marching us off to spiritual wars. She writes to the heart of the matter in this guide, based upon the study of the book of Esther from the Bible. She explores the meaning and the impact of curses and considers how to break and uproot curses in the realm of warfare and confrontation. Strategic Deliverance Solutions: Discover and Destroy Ancestral Curses explains how to trace the root, and source of affliction. It also teaches on how to undertake a solution-oriented mission in order to conquer the problem.

Womanist Midrash is an in-depth and creative exploration of the well- and lesser-known women of the Hebrew Scriptures. Using her own translations, Gafney offers a midrashic interpretation of the biblical text that is rooted in the African American preaching tradition to tell the stories of a variety of female characters, many of whom are often overlooked and nameless. Gafney employs a solid understanding of womanist and feminist approaches to biblical interpretation and the sociohistorical culture of the ancient Near East. This unique and imaginative work is grounded in serious scholarship and will expand conversations about feminist and womanist biblical interpretation.

Christianity Today 5-Star Review Publishers Weekly Review Foreword Reviews Indie Awards Finalist Gain a greater understanding of gender in the Bible through the eyes of a diverse group of evangelical scholars who assert that Christians have missed the point of some scriptural stories by assuming the women in them were "bad girls." Did the Samaritan woman really divorce five husbands in a world where women rarely divorced even one? Did Bathsheba seduce King David by bathing in the nude? Was Mary Magdalene really a reformed prostitute? While many have written studies of the women in the Bible, this is a new kind of book--one in which an international team of male and female scholars look afresh at vilified and neglected women in the Bible. The result is a new glimpse into God's heart for anyone, male or female, who has limited social power.

The book then develops a theory of forgiveness as a process demonstrated in both scripture and case studies. From a look atthe Kennedy assasination,the Columbine and Amish school shootings, and individual experiences, the book demonstates the process of forgiveness as leading to creativity rather than a reactive life..
