Her Body Bears the Word is a womens spirituality book that aims to move women toward a theology of body positivity. It asks several questions. What are the requirements of a female body if that body is to bear the Word of God? What kinds of bodies is God in the business of using? What is the state of the bodies that are acceptable for use by God? All the women whose stories are covered in this book changed the course of the biblical story because they gave their bodies as sacrifices for God.
