Bestselling Author Rosaria Butterfield Confronts 5 Cultural Lies She Once Believed

Modern culture is increasingly outspoken against a biblical understanding of what it means to be a woman. Even some Christians, swayed by the LGBTQ+ movement, have rejected God’s word on issues of sexuality and gender in favor of popular opinion. In light of these pressures, it’s more important than ever to help women see the truth about who God created them to be.

In this powerful book, Rosaria Butterfield uses Scripture to confront 5 common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty often promoted in our secular culture today. Written in the style of a memoir, this book explores Butterfield’s personal battle with these lies—interwoven with cultural studies, literary criticism, and theology—to help listeners see the beauty in biblical womanhood, marriage, and motherhood.

Truth is not popular

Rosaria did an excellent job in bringing truths of the Bible, which are very countercultural to today’s modern ideas, to light in this hard-hitting title! Plenty of people may have a hard time with what she says in this book, but she backs it all up with scripture and reason. It will require any listener who disagrees to take a hard look at what they do believe and how that reconciles with God’s Word. I highly recommend this book.

Poignant and powerful!

As the book began I was taken back by Butterfield’s firmness and forwardness, but by the end of the book I treasured these qualities as I read! What a treasure to the modern church and believers. This book is logical and firmly rooted in Scripture. Her stories shared were engaging and humorous, while being relatable and compelling. Must read(or listen to the audiobook!) 6/5 stars, easy!

A Textbook Must-Read

Rosaria’s narration can be very one-note, making this feel more like a college-course lecture than a story. However, her testimony, personal stories, and logical explanations more than make up for this.

Christians and non-Christians alike should read this, if for no other reason than to see how to treat/understand where the other side is coming from. It is triggering. It is blunt. And it is presented from a heart that’s “been there” and desires to share what the Bible says.

Strong Witness

Rosaria was able to tell her story and explain her transformation from darkness to Light, with great understanding of how Christ changed her and how His Word, the Bible, opened up her heart and mind to the truth. Thank you Rosaria!

Resourceful!

Resourceful book for those who are going through this, or who are generally interested in how the Bible approaches it. Would not recommend for little ears.

Much needed in this age

So to the point! Chalked full of Gods scripture and a sincere love to reach those who have fallen captive to lies as well as those who unknowingly accept their brothers and sisters captivity and support it.

Must read for all Christians

Excellent book to equip Christians to stand boldly in our anti-Christian age. I like that it was narrated by the author as well.

Truth presented with grace and love.

An amazing resource for the journey. I am recommending and sharing with friends and family.

Five lies…

We both know there are more than just 5, but this was an important statement to make nonetheless. Thank you for speaking out.

Outstanding Book

Butterfield, as always, does a phenomenal job in this book of not only diagnosing the problems in our culture, but also prescribing the solution. Her writing is thoroughly biblical and faithful. I highly recommend this book for all Christians.

One of the most important things she does in the book is show why agreeing with the culture isn't loving towards the unsaved. Using someone's preferred pronouns, for example, isn't loving or helpful. If we really want to love our neighbors, we must speak the truth to them.

My only disagreement with her is regarding social media. I think social media is a morally neutral tool. For some, the tool is used well and it's useful. For some, the tool is used poorly and it should be discarded. I disagree with her universal condemnation of social media for anything other than sharing announcements. But I still gave the book five stars, because I consider this a reasonable disagreement between Christians. The rest of the book is so thoroughly biblical that I couldn't bring myself to dock it a star because of the social media section.
