To understand the feminine heart, the Eldredges take us back to the very beginning — to Eve, and to what her creation reveals about God's design for women.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.The authors make a significant point about the order of creation: Eve was created last, as the culmination of God's creative work. How does this reframe the way you have thought about the creation of woman?
2.The Hebrew word for woman — ezer — is often translated 'helper,' but the Eldredges point out that the same word is used of God himself in the Psalms as a warrior-helper. How does this fuller understanding of ezer change your sense of what it means to be a woman?
3.The chapter argues that woman was 'the crescendo of creation' — that the world was not complete until she arrived. How does it feel to sit with that claim? Does it feel true, or does something in you resist it?
