Product Description
Two women who forever changed the world followed a plan to better their lives. One chose God's design for her. The other listened to a different voice that questioned God and rebelled against Him. Women and men today face the same decisions that confronted Mary and Eve. We can either seek the Tree of Life with God…or keep biting into the bitter fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Statistically, women today are less happy than at any time in measured history. This extolled knowledge of good and evil has had consequences. It's not about equality in work, pay, or choices. It's about women wanting to become "like men" instead of being women. It's about women who aspire to be "nasty" and men who are confused about what it means to be a real man. Nasty Gets Us Nowhere reveals the powerful truth behind learning to do relationships like Christ, particularly relationships between men and women. Our culture often incites rebellion, but God calls us to work together. As Galatians 5:15 says, "If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other" (niv). In an age saturated with feminism and gender wars, ex-feminist Drenda Keesee combines her wit, humor, and life experience to unpack a powerful, timely message that sets the record straight. She reveals why men and women have conflict, what God's plan for unity is, and how men and women can unite to create an unstoppable force. Drenda believes the pendulum is swinging and there are many conservative women and men who want to make amends and discover how to have relationships that work. There's also a younger generation searching for keys to live a different life than what they've seen modeled. Drenda says we can see eye to eye when we first see heart to heart and spirit to spirit, coming from a place of cooperation instead of conflict. God's Spirit coupled with His plan is the only answer to the separation and relationally destructive forces at work in the gender wars. It's time for restoration and healing, to bring men and women side by side, hand in hand. There's much at stake. We must understand our uniqueness, our vulnerabilities, and Christ's unalterable principles for successful working and loving relationships to experience fulfillment and lasting peace.
