Liberating Inner Eve: A Reflective Journey for Women by
Bozena Zawisz is designed as an interactive and thought-provoking journey for
women. The author, from a psychological point of view, has written a book to
bring personal identity, strength and self-love into all women’s hearts and
minds through an analysis of Eve in Genesis and Jesus’ New Testament, shedding
light on a different viewpoint of the original sin that pairs with behavior and
truths derived from the Bible that bring inner-emotional freedom.
By intertwining scripture verses, psychology, thoughts,
temptations and intentions, the author speaks of women as God’s works of art.
Focusing on the Bible’s way of interacting with others and obeying Scripture,
mainly (referencing Jesus’ way), the author blends in her work selective
quotes, philosophies/teachings, etc., of famous individuals such as: John Paul
II, Faustina (A Polish Catholic Saint) and takes much from insights from
Virginia Satir, her book speaks to the cultural and personal identity of a
female, offering that respect and love is what is needed in both
genders, male and female.
With such chapters as: Eve-Inferior From the Start?;
Blaming Eve; Embracing Adam and Embracing Eve; The Legacy of Eve (Embracing her
strengths), Who Am I Anyway?; Into the Future; Obedience; Silencing Eve;
Staying Connected with Eve-Mindfulness; and the Body of Eve - Each chapter
includes journaling exercises and questions to reflect on the material covered.
Intricate introspection into Eve and her legacy, offer how women have been
affected by the subconscious of the depiction of Eve, coupled with cultural
insight into a woman’s place in society and within herself.
Assessing what the original “essence” of a woman might be,
readers reflect on their own personal journeys. Written from her observation
from a Christian background from women who encountered a lack of self-esteem, love
and acceptance, her book provides key points of view that one should
consider and compare to the truth of the Bible. The author helps readers to
discover true identity, personal strength and confidence from a viewpoint in
which they are as God’s great creation.
Her intent is to reflect empowering truths of the
Word of God as connected by Genesis and Jesus’ teachings. You may get your copy of Liberating Inner Eve: A Reflective Journey for Women at Amazon or in Kindle as a download.
