I Don't Even Like Women

Collaborator or competition? Trusted friend or backstabbing rival? Even women in the Church commonly find it hard to trust-or like-other women. Yet, as Natalie Runion gently but humorously reminds readers through story and biblical teaching, meaningful female friendships not only foster spiritual growth, they equip women to advance God's Kingdom with boldness and joy. Readers will find themselves in these pages as Natalie: • Explores how to get past the enemy's lies that cause women to distance themselves from each other • Encourages healing while validating the reality of past trauma and broken trust • Offers practical help for strengthening current relationships and building new ones • Gives real-life answers for overcoming insecurities, fear of rejection, and the comparison game • Flips the script on societal and Church-influenced narratives that keep women from enjoying God's design for female friendships By breaking down cultural myths and our own assumptions, we're free to enjoy spiritually enriching, healthy friendships that are essential to the Body of Christ. A joyous 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 being a woman can unify rather than divide. In this insightful invitation for women to see one another as a refuge rather than an enemy, bestselling author Natalie Runion gives readers biblical guidance for cultivating the sacred sisterhood that God designed for the good of His Kingdom.
