Best-selling men's ministry author Robert Lewis knows what you're thinking: What's a man doing writing a book about women? The answer is: because women strongly encouraged him to do so Per their request, having seen so many positive changes in the men in their lives, The New Eve is an equally stirring counterpart to Robert's teachings on authentic biblical manhood, powerfully defining Christian womanhood in the context of the modern world. He says, "Many women lack a clear, compelling, biblical vision for what it means to be a Christian woman living in the twenty-first century. They are stuck with images mired in 1950s terminology or given license to indiscrimi-nately pursue a modern life that overlooks divine directives, bringing confusion and regret." In essence, The New Eve sets forth and expounds upon five "Bold Moves" for today's discerning woman: Live from the Inside Out; Adopt a Biblical Definition of Womanhood; Embrace a Big-Picture Perspective on Life; Live with the End in Mind; Use Wisdom with a Man. Endorsements "I never thought a book written by a man could give me such an eye-opening picture of who I should be as a woman." -- Shaunti Feldhahn , bestselling author of For Women Only "Women today have unprecedented opportunities and possibilities before them, but this great new freedom also brings a new dilemma: how to make the best choices for their own good and that of their families. In The New Eve , Robert Lewis gives women of all ages a picture of what God intended for us from the beginning and a clear vision for how we make choices that liberate us to live with purposeful direction. No matter your stage in life, all women can benefit from his coaching. I highly recommend it." -- Barbara Rainey , co-founder of FamilyLife "Robert Lewis sounds a much-needed message as he calls women to walk in the feminine freedom and fullness that result from embracing our core biblical callings. The New Eve dispels the current cultural fog regarding what it means to be a woman, by looking to God's design as revealed in the Scripture, for wisdom, insight, and direction." -- Nancy Leigh DeMoss , author and host of Revive Our Hearts radio
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

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.

Womanhood from a Biblical Perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
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.
