About this title

Synopsis

This book consists of seven chapters, each of which begins with a true account of a situation involving a woman living in an Arab country.Although these pictures look dark, there is a glimmer of hope at the end ofeach chapter that presents a proposal requiring action very soon. The book begins with the issue of a woman’s position within the home as amother and then discusses her role as the guardian of the family’s honor. The book alsodiscusses the status of the woman and her role in the home and society and theprevailing perspective that believes that she is just a painting in the museum of a man. Then the book addresses violence against women in all its forms and how it should be dealt with.The book also addresses the challenges a woman faces at work in addition to her multiple roles as a wife and working mother. It tackles the psychological effects of thelife of oppression that she lives, the factors that lead to it, and her reactions to this deadly disease. Finally, the book presents a proposal to church leaders in the Arab world that sheds light on the Christian woman who continues to suffer under double injustice within the family, society and perhaps the Church, even though God has gifted her with both a distinguished position and a value equal to that of the man. I sincerely hope that this book will bring about a quantum leap of changeIn the status of women.
