I will be honest, sometimes the Bible is really hard for me to read. There are stories upon stories of rape, violence, and genocide. But recently, I’ve read a book that helped me look at certain stories with a new lens.
Rev Katey Zeh recently published a book called “Women, Rise Up” where I was able to gain a new found appreciation of the holy resistance of women in the Bible.
Shiprah and Puah, Mary Magdalene, Ruth, and many more show us what resistance looks like, both back then and now.
