First of all, someone might ask: "Why is a man reading and recommended a book that is for women?" Let me answer, the reason is that this book does not only have something to say to women but also to men.
We can and must know the challenges that Latina women are facing not only in the United States but globally. Although the book focuses on Latina women, it can also be useful for European, Asian or Anglo-Saxon women. There are principles in this book that can be useful.
Here are three good reasons to read this book:
1. Know the story of twelve women of the Scriptures.
From Deborah to the bleeding woman. Each story will be shocking, because it shows us the intervention of God's grace and love in their lives. For God, woman has value.
2. Know the challenges of latina women in a global way.
As a Latin American, I understand very well the challenges that are mentioned, such as insecurity, fear and marginalization. How important it is that we know the struggles of the Latin woman.
3. Encourage women in counseling.
There are women who want to serve in their communities or churches, or maybe start a project. Often they need advice. This book offers some very useful principles for counseling.
