Description
"Male and female he created them." --Genesis 1:27
It's one of the most important--and controversial--topics of our time.
God created men and women in his image--equal in value and complementary in roles. These distinctive roles are not the vestiges of a bygone era, but integral to God's timeless good design for humanity.
Designed for Joy includes fresh contributions from fourteen young leaders, casting a unified vision for Christian manhood and womanhood. Whether discussing the significance of gender, the truth about masculinity and femininity, the blessing of purity, or the challenge of raising children in a confusing world, this practical resource challenges us to embrace God's good design--for his glory and our joy.
