The best way I know to tackle this is to talk about four overarching issues I see here, and then walk through chapter by chapter making a few additional incidental observations. (There are also a few legitimate concerns raised but, again, they get lost in the shuffle.) I wish Aimee Byrd had refrained from the complementarian-bashing and simply written a book about the purpose of the church and the value Scripture displays for women, because most of the good things to be gleaned from this have little or nothing to do with the title concept.
Unfortunately, it’s so overshadowed by the negatives that it gets lost in the shuffle. There is some good stuff here - almost entire chapters, even. The three section titles ( Recovering the Way We Read Scripture, Recovering Our Mission, and Recovering the Responsibility of Every Believer) make sense and seem cohesive, but the chapters don’t all clearly and effectively reflect their titles, producing a book that’s a bit disjointed and seems unclear in its purpose. The book is, in my opinion, not organized very well. In a recent email, I promised a review of the book, Recovering from Biblical Manhood & Womanhood.
