By Susan Hunt-PCA. Woman's ""helper design"" uniquely equips her for ministries of mercy. This study shows the value of men and women partnering in church ministry, and explores the implications of woman's creational design in the various seasons of life. Separate leader's guide available.

An inspiring and practical introduction to understanding God's "helper" design for women, and a rallying cry to the church to fully utilize the nearly forgotten resources of its women. God did not make a mistake when He made men and women different. He had a distinctive plan and a distinctive purpose for each, stamping the helper design upon women at creation. This book is a joyous celebration of that profound fact. But it is more. It is a rallying cry to the church to retain one of its most valuable and nearly forgotten resources: its women.
By Design is not about answering feminist arguments or exegeting biblical passages on traditional roles, submission, or headship. Instead, it is an uplifting and practical introduction to God's wonderful design for women. The book includes many short stories and biographies of little-known but great and influential women from Reformation and American history. It is a challenge to women everywhere to explore the significance of their distinctives and return to their biblical calling. And it is a plea for the church to equip and mobilize women to help a hurting world and capture a culture for Christ through ministries of mercy and compassion.
