Balance

Our notions of masculinity and femininity are changing. The effects of thousands of years of oppression and suppression caused by toxic masculinity has been significantly damaging to both men and women, and there are countless side effects we deal with today.

But as women work today to reclaim their identity and the narrative of what it truly means to be a woman, men also have a golden opportunity to support them and find an unrealized level of fulfillment.

This new book from the son-in-law of Bishop T.D. Jakes picks up where Woman, Thou Art Loosed left off. As our cultural pendulum swings from toxic masculinity to modern sensitivity, men are called to rethink the invaluable roles they play in supporting and sacrificing for the other. And women are being challenged to overcome inner and outer oppressive forces to find their hidden strength. Spiritual and personal growth comes in reclaiming God's plan for activating our identity in relationship. It is time to respond to the cry for deep and lasting change in how we think (and act) as men and women.

Detailing the biblical model for gender reconciliation, now applied to our modern context the humble principles demonstrated by Jesus' earthly father, Joseph, offer insightful tools for men to find new purpose, and women to embrace their full beauty and influence.
