About

What does it mean to be a woman? What makes her her? Why are there differences between men and women? What do we lose as progressive movements try to erase those differences? And where do we go from here?

With insight and passion, the founders of Girl Defined Ministries confront the confusion of our culture and the conflicting voices of the feminist movement in order to bring clarity to the biblical womanhood found in God's Word. This book will help you sort through the noise to develop a clear understanding of who God made you to be so you can stand firm and fearless despite the shifting winds of our society.

With a discussion guide at the end of each chapter to help you dig deeper, this book makes an excellent choice for women's book clubs and Bible study groups or the perfect read to share with a friend over coffee.

Endorsements

"Modern society can no longer define what it means to be a woman. Made to Be She brings clarity to the confusion by unpacking God's timeless design. With grace and humor, Kristen and Bethany challenge women to reject culture's push toward self-definition and instead draw their identity from the God who created them. Compelling. Readable. Relatable. Bold. There's wisdom in these pages. So, grab some girlfriends and dig in!"

Mary A. Kassian, coauthor of True Woman 101, cofounder of the True Woman Conference, and regular guest on Revive Our Hearts

"This is a critical book for today, written by two women who are worthy of your trust. Kristen and Bethany bravely speak out biblical truth concerning gender, inviting us to shamelessly celebrate being female. They also stir up godly discernment and offer wisdom to navigate the confusion on one of today's most important topics. Every Christian woman and teen girl needs to read this book."

Dannah Gresh, founder of True Girl and cohost of Revive Our Hearts

"Though everyone is born of a woman, few today seem to know what a woman is. Because they stand squarely on Scripture, Kristen Clark and Bethany Beal have a ready answer. They unfold the beauty of biblical womanhood in this stirring book even as they offer a lovely mixture of honest reflection and cultural analysis as they go. Made to Be She is particularly good on the gospel that powers biblical womanhood. Womanhood is not ultimately about a list of suggested behaviors; being a godly woman is about living out of the overflow of God's grace. It all starts there, and it all cycles back there: the atoning love of God shown in the cross of Jesus Christ. Made to Be She unfolds this vision and is a great resource for the rising generation today."

Dr. Owen Strachan, author of Reenchanting Humanity and The War on Men and host of the Grace & Truth podcast

"Made to Be She is a crucial message for women across the world. Understanding God's design for male and female changes everything. This book makes no apologies for its bold stand on biblical truth. It takes women on a journey of discovering their identity in Christ and helps dissolve the gender confusion that is so pervasive in our culture today. This is a must-read for every Christian woman desiring to better understand the beauty and uniqueness of womanhood."

Elizabeth Parsons, wife, mom of six, and founder of Purely Parsons

"Our culture struggles to even come up with a definition for woman, let alone agree on one! Made to Be She takes us back to our origin story found in Genesis and invites us to embrace God's timeless design for womanhood. Every woman needs to know that God made her to be she--both on purpose and for a good purpose. This book is a must-read for every Christian woman who wants to reject the lies and live out the truth of her femininity."

Shannon Popkin, author of Shaped by God's Promises and Comparison Girl and host of the Live Like It's True podcast

"We're living in a generation of people who can't even define the simple words man and woman. Enough is enough with this denial of reality. I love how Kristen and Bethany don't mince words in Made to Be She. They go straight to the source of truth and show us what God has to say about sex and gender. It's not confusing. Grab a copy. You won't be disappointed!"

Morgan Olliges, cohost of the Paul and Morgan Show and 24HRS WITH on YouTube

"There are a lot of things promising us answers in our world today. As humans, we want to hold on to 'identity markers' that solidify our existence on this earth. The lie that we are facing today is that we are anything other than the beautiful design of an intentional and almighty God. Made to Be She takes us on a journey of rediscovering His good plan for our lives in how He created us. His loving plan helps us to thrive and flourish in His goodness. This is a must-read book for any woman who desires to truly know who she is and what it means to be a woman of God."

Addie Overla, host of Christ in Me podcast

"Made to Be She is the book this generation of Christian women needs. Femininity and womanhood have been all but eradicated by society in the name of progress and liberation. In this world of gender confusion and living out your own truth, we need to be reminded that God's truths still stand, that being a godly woman is a good thing, and that the 'advances' of feminism and new-age thinking are really getting us nowhere. This book is more than a guidebook to biblical womanhood. It's an all-out exposé on the thinking and movements that have taken over the beauty and purpose of being a woman. Kristen and Bethany have combined biblical truth, hard facts, and personal observations to create a compelling and informative must-read for Christian women everywhere."
