Either include one or the other, but not both. The author also had a foreword and an introduction. ☪t one place, I winced as the book became crude in its terminology when it read, “As the women were doing the bulk of the work, men were merely hunting or planting their seed in women.” I thought that was unnecessary (unless it was a typo). The spelling, punctuation, grammar, missing words, extraordinarily long paragraphs, and sentence structure problems were too numerous to refer to in one book review. The bibliography needed better organizing, perhaps putting the many references by chapter with the numbers referring to the exact place and context where the information was used to make it easier for a reader to delve deeper into a point. Life as I knew it changed.“Īn editor would have caught this misspelling here, ¹“The result = less people speaking about it,” and fixed it to read, “The result equals less people speaking about it.” An editor would have pointed out the necessary places to add a footnote or an end notes with proper citing techniques as demonstrated above. I would have said, “In the time it takes to exhale, she was gone.
This phrase on location 36-37 says,“Then, in a blink of an eye, she was gone as life as I know it passed from her.” Blink of an eye is a cliche. What gives me doubt on its accuracy has more to do with how badly edited and poorly cited this manuscript was in comparison with similar genres.Īll this beautiful work deserves the time it takes for re-writes and a professional editor who can cut unnecessary words.
The book begins with the patriarchal society and delves into Mosaic Law, moving us through history to present time. I felt this book explored well how women ranked in biblical history and scripture. Research demands many hours and the gift of organizing that surplus of information into readable chapters, and this deserves recognition. This book is a historical and biblical expository with numerous technical errors.įirst, What Every Woman Should Know is well-researched.
What Every Woman Should Know by Jori Sams uniquely explores gender equality in which she sets out to prove that every woman needs to know their place in God’s heart. A copy of the book was given to me by the author to review as part of her blog tour. Jori Sams is the author of Revelation in Seven Weeks and There Will Come No More Tears.
If there is anything obviously in error, I will point it out, but otherwise I leave that discernment to you. Note to Reader: I am not reviewing this book based on biblical or historical accuracy as I am not schooled in theology nor do I have Bible Study experience to consider myself an expert.
