My search has been to discover the Biblical, trans-cultural norm for The Woman Believer - not for the Chinese or African or European, or Asian or American woman, affected by varying cultures and religious customs. My quest has been to comprehend God's ideal for the woman whom He has created in His own image.
Biblical evidence is clear that Christ has provided total salvation, divine dignity, quality self-esteem, and unlimited ministry for women in His body on exactly the same redemptive basis as for men - and this book is the result of my search.
A woman should read John 14:12 like this: She who believes in Me, the works that I do she will do also; and greater works than these she will do, because I go to My Father. Jesus expresses Himself through believing women the same as He does through believing men. He is no more restricted by gender that He is by race or by color.
Scriptures taken out of their cultural context, and tarnished with tradition, have been contrived to demean the status of womanhood and to repress her participation in public Christian ministry.
Every woman has the right to choose to allow the Lord Jesus to be the same in and through her today, as He was in Bible days. He does not change when He comes to live in The Woman Believer. -- Daisy Marie Washburn Osborn
