Customer Reviews

Incredibly encouraging!

I have read the entire book and then re-read several sections as needed for reference. As a 31-year old female, I found the insights Dr. Lewis shared to be incredibly encouraging and life-breathing. He provides some very simple, straight-forward insights into the role of women in the world today, and although some of them are hard truths to read, it was what I needed to hear. I have given copies of this book to several of my friends who are in the same season of life as me, and they have also found the truths shared in this book to be encouraging, challenging and worth their time to think about. I highly recommend buying and reading this book to anyone female who is looking to choose God's best for their lives.

Real Life Issues

As a working mom it is hard not to see my life in to do's and grocery lists. Robert's research in both contemporary and Biblical events help me step back and evaluate how I manage my time and my priotities with regard to God's will in my life. The New Eve is not a list of stifling rules and legalism, but has practical advice and real core callings that help me see my life as a great adventure. The DVD and small group discussion starters also make it easy to use with women from all stages of life. ~Margaret Feurtado

At last, true wisdom for working women!

For years, I've been struggling with the work/family balance issue, trying to understand God's plan for my life. Making critical career choices or family decisions without a biblical framework can be scary and unsettling. In The New Eve, Robert Lewis provides the clarity and practical tools for seizing opportunities without compromising my role as a wife and a mother. A very encouraging, liberating book I can highly recommend.

Womanhood from a Biblical Perspective

The New Eve is a book that examines womanhood from a Biblical perspective like none other I have read. The five point definition of womanhood gives a clear goal for women today and how they should view their world and the world around them. The chapters on the seasons of a woman's life gives you ways to stategically examine how you are living as you move from season to season. In today's world, as women, we are bombarded with views on how we should live our lives. Robert Lewis gives us an instruction manual based on God's plan for us, combined with a sound Biblical perspective, so that we are making choices based on our core callings, not the societal norm. I recommend this book for women from 12 to 102!

The New Eve

I love The New Eve! It's so readable and relevant for women (of all ages) who are trying to figure out how to live well in a sometimes-confusing world. I found it to be practical yet profound. The discussion questions at the back and the dvd with coaching tips for small group leaders are all you need to lead a discussion group. It's a turnkey deal! The author gives examples of real women who have grappled with isses that all of us face and then uses biblical truth and principles to guide us to wise choices. I highly recommend this book! ~ Linda S.
