Description
Jen Oshman Helps Women Reject Idols and Discover God's Good Purpose for Their Lives
In today's culture, women and girls are influenced by idols that promise purpose and meaning for their lives-outward beauty and ability, sex, abortion, and gender fluidity. Christian women aren't exempt from these temptations either, and can even elevate good things like marriage and motherhood to the status of idolatry. Women may sense that these idols are hollow and leave them feeling unsettled, but where should they turn instead?
In Cultural Counterfeits, Jen Oshman encourages women to reject the empty, destructive promises these idols offer and embrace something much more satisfying. She casts a vision for women to experience real hope and peace in Jesus, calling them to recognize their unshakable and eternal identities in him. This timely and compelling resource will help women find freedom and joy as they explore God's good design and purpose for their lives.
Culturally Relevant: Addresses current topics such as the #MeToo movement, LGBTQIA+, social media, and feminism
Explains "How We Got Here": Gives a brief history of the sexual revolution up to today
Written by Jen Oshman: Author of Enough about Me: Find Lasting Joy in the Age of Self
For Group or Individual Study: Includes discussion questions at the end of each chapter
