Collaborator or competition? Trusted friend or backstabbing rival? Bestselling author Natalie Runion flips the script on narratives that keep us from enjoying God’s design for female friendships.
Even women in the Church often find it hard to trust—or like—other women. But when we see one another as a refuge, rather than an enemy, we can delight in God’s life-giving design for sacred sisterhood. In I Don’t Even Like Women, Natalie Runion shows us how meaningful female friendships not only foster spiritual growth, they equip women to live out their calling with boldness and joy. You’ll find yourself in these pages as Natalie:
Breaks down the lies that distance us from other women
Validates the reality of past trauma and equips us to find healing
Shares stories (with a good dose of humor!) that help us move beyond insecurities, fear of rejection, and the comparison game
Offers practical help for strengthening current relationships and building new ones
When we take apart our own false narratives and assumptions, we see that spiritually enriching, healthy friendships are essential to the Body of Christ. A refreshing recognition of how God made each of us in His image—and not only likes us but cherishes us—I Don’t Even Like Women focuses on how the unique experiences of women can unify us rather than divide us—for the good of God’s Kingdom.
