I loved this book so much that after I read a borrowed copy, I decided to buy my own. I meet with a group of female graduate students and we were all feeling frustrated by the constraints that we felt were being put upon our spiritual callings in the church and in the larger world. Fortunately, one of the women had read this book and lent it to me. Ruth Haley Barton does a great job of staying true to Scripture and in doing so, helping women stay true to themselves rather than standards that are set by others. There are chapters about sex and marriage, but also about vocation and other things that aren't usually found in Christian women's literature. She is a true scholar, but very readable at the same time. This was the perfect balance for me and I hope that it is for others as well.

We all long for the freedom to choose based on our heart?s truest desires?and to love beyond fear and self-protection. Yet many of us lose touch with this sense of freedom, or never develop it in the first place. Without such freedom, we become limited and are unable to realize our full potential.

In The Truths That Free Us, author Ruth Haley Barton leads women into a place of deeper freedom and truth, helping to transform our relationships with God and others. In these pages, you will discover truths about yourself and God; about the people around you and the world you live in. Sometimes these truths will be beautiful, and sometimes they will be painful. But always, they will set you free as you allow them to change you from the inside out.

INCLUDES SPIRITUAL EXERCISES TO ENCOURAGE
PERSONAL REFLECTION AND SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION.
