We are called to be women. The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman. For I have accepted God's idea of me, and my whole life is an offering back to Him of all that I am and all that He wants me to be. Elisabeth Elliot is one of Christendom's most able and articulate writers. In this new book, Let Me Be a Woman, she couples her own observations and experiences of life with her careful, lifelong study of the Scripture. The book is subtitled "Thoughts on Womanhood for Valerie," and is the gift of this talented mother to a daughter on the threshold of her own marriage.
