Books that have shaped us

What book has shaped your understanding of who you are and what God has called you to, particularly with respect to your gender? We're starting a new series of reviews called 'Books that have shaped us', and Sally Nash has written our first review which will be posted in the May update in a few days' time.

Would you like to write the next one? You don't have to be a Sophia Network member; you don't have to be female - we want to hear about the books that have lived on with you since you read them because they made such an impact. If you're up for it, send me an email.

this is a great idea. I was just chatting with someone tonight about reading 'no compromise' by Melody Green (about the life of Keith Green) at the age of 17. I remember being radically changed through reading their story and it prompted a hunger in me for God that was just what I needed at that time (and still do!). Not sure it really hits on the area of gender, will continue to ponder that one and let you know!
