NEW LIMITED-EDITION COLLECTOR’S BIBLE WITH “EXPANDED APOCRYPHA” PLUS MORE FREE BOOKS HERE: www.skywatchtvstore.com/products/the-handmaidens-conspiracy-promotional-offer With all the talk in media today about women’s rights to be heard and treated with fairness and decency in all public platforms, Donna Howell’s timely new book boldly establishes how it was JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF who settled THIS issue a long time ago… and at a time when it would have been considered revolutionary… and prophetic! The veil was not the only thing that Christ’s arrival on earth tore asunder. We all know how social and religious barriers, serving to draw lines between specific people groups for thousands of years before His arrival, were suddenly — in light of His Great Commission — transformed. Never would a tax collector, a zealot, and a traditional Jew share a meal together in peace... but following just a short time in Jesus’ presence, these barriers crumbled. The influence that Christ had on the men in His day has been celebrated for two thousand years. The overlooked question within mainstream media and even church corners remains: What influence did He have upon women, and what statements did His words and actions make in relation to gender equality? Is it possible that while Jesus Christ, Himself, recognized appropriate gender roles, He also intentionally began the first women’s empowerment movement? As sensational as this may sound, the proof is in the Word of God, and in the proper contextual analysis of it. ● Follow the cultural and historic backdrop behind Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy — the “trouble verses” in relation to the issue of women in leadership in the Church — and understand more properly what he was responding to when the epistles were written. ● Observe the Principle of Internal Consistency at play throughout repeated accounts of Scripture openly describing women preaching, teaching, prophesying, and leading with powerful voices in the Body of Christ, and Saint Peter’s acknowledgment that this very activity, foretold in Joel 2:28, began on the Day of Pentecost. ● Discover what the original Greek nouns and adjectives meant in Paul’s “greeting” orders, the women that he was both commissioning and commending as fellow ministers of his own circle (Phoebe, Priscilla, Junia, and several others who were suddenly equal to men in ministerial commission), and the misleading translational and interpretational errors that continuously assist in perpetuating an erroneous concept that women should always remain silent in the work of Christ. ● Reflect upon the women Jesus knew, both from Scripture as well as in person, and the groundbreaking, permanent changes He made regarding their rights, their value, and their role in delivering His message to the world. ● Revisit and refine some ancient, yet inaccurate, ideas the Body of Christ has had regarding the Bible’s most talked-about women, such as Eve, Mary (the mother of Christ), Mary Magdalene, Judge Deborah, Prophetess Huldah, and others. ● Understand why the prohibition of women as equals in leadership is not only unbiblical, it is actually doing harm to the Church today.
