Recapturing Biblical Womanhood
Though no bullets have been fired, we are witnessing the unilateral surrender of our daughters to a ferocious cultural, religious, and philosophical enemy. Here a little and there a little, inch by inch, ever progressively downward — the twenty-first century Church has largely capitulated to the feminist vision of womanhood.
This capitulation is evidenced by (1) a lack of visionary leadership proclaiming and modeling the nobility, influence, and significance of biblical womanhood; (2) an unwillingness to defend the doctrine of biblical womanhood exegetically from Scripture; and (3) the communication of a false dichotomy — namely, that our daughters can either choose to be relevant and fulfilled independent career women, or they will be relegated to irrelevance preparing to be unfulfilled mothers, wives, and keepers at home.
Now, thanks to a groundbreaking new book by Anna Sophia and Elizabeth Botkin, Christian women are discovering that there is “so much more” for the daughters of Zion. The biblical vision is neither that our daughters become useless, mindless ornaments, nor that they behave like men as soldiers, but that they play a crucial role in the rebuilding of a visionary Christian culture by recapturing the biblical model for noble and victorious womanhood. The book is entitled So Much More: The Remarkable Influence of Visionary Daughters on the Kingdom of God, and it is the number one best-selling Vision Forum book since its release four weeks ago.
Today, countless young ladies face difficult problems and challenging questions. While many long for godly purpose in their lives, their bewilderment mounts when they observe broken homes, distant fathers, overwhelmed mothers, degrading college courses, and a lack of spiritual guidance — both at home and at church. As hope for security and stability fades, it is no wonder that many young ladies feel orphaned, unprotected, and without hope for their futures. But So Much More is not another Christian-teenage-girl “survival guide.” So Much More shows how Christian girls can wage war with the world and win. In this groundbreaking new work, the Botkin sisters focus on how young women can rise above their God-hating culture and change it for the better.
So Much More smashes stereotypes of the Left and Right. In the spirit of the principle of semper reformanda, So Much More is a reflection of the current great Holy Spirit work of Christ-focused family revival where a people are being made ready for the Lord as the hearts of children are turned to their parents and parents to their children. Indeed, God is at work, even in the midst of a paganism-loving, saltless Christianity which has all but embraced the worst vision of womanhood in the name of cultural relevancy and personal rights.
So Much More recaptures definitions of biblical womanhood which have been under attack by feminist saboteurs both beyond and within the camp of the faithful. It presents a forward-thinking and distinctively biblical vision of Christian womanhood which transcends time and culture. It adds further clarity in answering the question: “What’s a girl to do?”
Destined to be despised by feminists, post-moderns, and anti-patriarchs, but beloved of those who cherish the biblical ideal of womanhood in all of its beauty and influence, So Much More is the kind of literature we should be placing in the hands of our noble daughters. Within the pages of this book, girls will discover practical, biblical solutions for the young woman who wants to do so much more than just “survive” in a savagely feministic, anti-Christian culture. Readers will find the answers a girl is not likely to get from her church youth group, her peers, or her culture.

Crystal, I've been wondering about this book. Do you think it would be of use to a young girl who has already capitulated to modern thinking? My youngest sis is 15, and has decided she doesn't care about God (being an athiest takes too much thought she says), isn't interested in traditional family, and, how do I put this delicately?, isn't interested in being interested in men.
I've bitten my fingernails down to the quick over this and I'm really worrying for her and about the path of sorrow she's heading down.
Would this book address her where she is, or is it more meant for Christian girls who are actually wanting to buck the culture?
The books was written from a perspective that young women who are not from Christian homes or who are from Christian homes could both benefit alike from it.
It was written for a Christian girl, though. Or, at least someone who is trying to seek after truth. Perhaps the book would be helpful to you or your parents in talking with her/trying to help her, though.
I will pray for your sister. I know that would cause a huge amount of grief to me if it were my sister.
Thanks! I may see if dh will let me budget for it in a few months
I just ordered the book for myself. I'm an adult and I don't have any daughters but I wasn't raised in a Christian home and I am really curious about the book, so I ordered it....can't beat the price! (o:
