This is the instinct to appease, flatter, and stay small to avoid harm. For many Christian women, this pattern has been reinforced as a virtue. What does it say about the church when our model for women's behavior looks like a survival strategy?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eFawn\u003c\/i\u003e, Sheila Wray Gregoire and Dr. Merry C. Lin reveal how modern ideas of \"biblical womanhood\" have often mirrored--and even perpetuated--the fawn response. Drawing on research, theology, and lived experience, they explore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e· how trauma and psychological harm have shaped women's survival response;\u003cbr\u003e· why the fawn survival response has been spiritualized; and\u003cbr\u003e· how women can reclaim their voices, boundaries, and agency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeal for women, small groups, and church leaders, this book offers language for readers' experiences, tools for healing, and a renewed vision of faith rooted in mutuality and wholeness.","brand":"Sheila Wray Gregoire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43129067536461,"sku":"9781540903778","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8532\/3085\/files\/9781540903778.jpg?v=1781541370","url":"https:\/\/bakerpublishinggroup.com\/products\/9781540903778_fawn","provider":"Baker Publishing Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
