Biblical Womanhood

Who has God created women to be? Are we essentially the same as men? Are we really supposed to "submit" to our husbands? Are there specific instructions to women in the Bible? Does it really matter if I agree with what the Bible says about womanhood?
These questions and more are answered in the book Women's Ministry in the Local Church. The title leads you to believe that only people who are in leadership should read this book, but I think that this is an excellent read for anyone who desires to obey what the Bible teaches us about womanhood.
I will leave you with a question. Why is it so difficult to have "authentic" relationships with other people?
