I've been seeing some reviews of Radical Womanhood pop up on various blogs and I have enjoyed reading the feedback. (Google Alerts--such a helpful tool!) Below are some excerpts from recent reviews. However, there's more "link love" to come! My publisher, Moody, has generously agreed to supply a copy of my book to ten bloggers who would like to publish a review. All you have to do is leave a comment requesting the book and I'll follow up to get the book shipped to you.
Book Nook Club: "This is quite possibly the best book written for Christian women that I've read to date. As someone who prefers classics, saying that about a book that was published in 2008 hopefully says a lot."
Chrysalis: "If you’re ready for a challenging read, and the opportunity to understand the source of confusion surrounding our God-given roles as women, I strongly recommend you get this book. Personally, I've gleaned much from its pages."
Hawley Home: "Lately I've had a difficult time finishing some books on my reading list. However, when I picked up Carolyn McCulley's Radical Womanhood: Feminine Faith in a Feminist World, I couldn't put the book down."
Reading to Know: "I'm grateful McCulley took the time to sit down and write this all out for my benefit. It's a useful tool and I welcome it!"
Ignorant Historian: "The best book I’ve read so far in 2009 (and I’ve read 20, so I have some room to talk)."
In a Mirror Dimly: "I am reading Radical Womanhood by Carolyn McCulley. This is my second read through this book - yes it’s that good."
Maidens of Worth: "I can't say I enjoyed this book, but it was definitely a good read. I'm glad I read it."
Sandra Peoples: "Radical Womanhood: Feminine Faith in a Feminist World by Carolyn McCulley is one of the best books I've read on the topic of biblical womanhood. It is academic enough to be used in the classroom, yet readable enough so that any one even casually interested in the topic couldn't help but keep reading."
Literary Lounge: "I recommend this book for all women, Christian or not … Feminist or not … Single or not. It’s an amazing look at the history of women and the current state of where we are today."
I appreciate these encouraging words!
UPDATE: Wow, ladies! Thanks for the enthusiastic reaction to this idea. I am conferring with my publisher and will soon email you directly about your kind offers!
Yes please! I'd love to read & review :)

My husband reviews books for a number of publishers and he has recently gotten me involved as well. I love to read and write and have actually really enjoyed the challenge of reviewing books. I have your book on my Amazon Wish-List and would love the opportunity to review it!

Thank you for your dedication to write this book. I have been looking for just the right word to give to my daughters about their roles as women and wives. This will be an excellent source to use as I try to tread the waters of teaching them.

You probably already have your ten, but I thought I'd give a shout out and see if you have any left...I'd love to post something on my blog about you! In fact, I already have been mulling to myself abut some of these issues over there...but that's because I keep lurking around your wisdom. Don't know if you remember me, but we spent time together back in the summer of 2000, and I have found myself going back to our conversations many times. So even if you don't have a book left, thanks for being so influential in my life!!
(PS to see all my entries, I need to add you as a friend, which I would love to do! But I do have public entries as well--I'd be happy to put a review as public!!)

I would love to post a review of your book! I enjoyed your first book and have "Radical Womanhood" on my wish list. This would be a win-win situation for us both. :-)

I would love to read this book and review it, in fact, my accountability partner and I would probably do it together. Biblical Femininity is something we are trying to grasp. If sending a book to New Zealand is possible, it would be totally great.
Cheers!
