THE FEMININE JOURNEY SHOULDN'T BE A RAT RACE. What, in essence, is a woman? A model of beauty, fitness, and charm? A committed wife? A company president? A nurturing mother? A wise mentor? Social mores, the feminist movement, the church, and the self-help movement have given women a myriad of messages about who they should be. But when they seek to live out all these messages at once, women often feel more frantic than fulfilled. So what's the answer? A woman needs an identity that goes beyond self-fulfillment, primary relationships, or any of the possibilities in between, say Cynthia and Robert Hicks. Her true identity is found in who is as an individual designed by her Creator-and that may look different at the various stages of her life. In The Feminine Journey, the Hickses explore the biblical terms and examples that shed light on the normative experiences in a woman's life. As they examine the rich characteristics and opportunities-as well as the challenges and limitations-of each stage, they provide a compelling look at the real essence of womanhood. No matter where you've been or where you are now in your journey as a woman, The Feminine Journey will give you a sense of direction-and make it a trip worth taking.
