Book excerpt: The Pearl of God's Eye explores contemporary issues that affect the lives of women by examining the voices of women in the Bible that are often silenced and overlooked. It confronts the dishonor that women experience in and out of the church. The palpable sense of inferiority and objectification from which there seems no escape. It satisfies the hunger to retreat to a safe space where one can perceive themselves as fully human with the assurance that God sees and knows the unique challenges of being a woman. The Pearl of God's Eye gives women the opportunity to see their gifts as expansive and without boundaries to be used for the kingdom of God in ways that can challenge the status quo. In the Pearl of God's Eye, one learns from Deborah that God uses women to lead and work side-by-side with men. From Jael, that the call to act with military force never diminishes womanhood or femininity in the sight of God. From Zelophehad's daughters, one can learn the power of women who unite to raise their voices for justice. After reading this book, women will begin to understand that they are truly made in the image of God. They will know without a doubt that they are loved beyond measure.
