The publishers at Personhood Press are proud to announce that their most recent publication, “Prostitutes, Virgins and Mothers: Questioning Teachings About Biblical Women” by Dr. Paula Trimble-Familetti has been awarded a Gold Medal in the category of Bible Study. The Illumination Book Awards, whose tagline is “Shining a Light on Timely and Exemplary Christian Books” announced the medalists in 23 categories last week. The Illumination Book Awards are designed to honor and bring increased recognition to year’s best new titles written and published with a Christian Worldview. The 77 medalists come from 28 different U.S. States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and France. The diverse topics and styles of the medal-winning books reflect the diversity of Christianity today.
Dr. Trimble-Familetti’s book helps to set the record straight on women’s role in the Church. Called to give voice to the crucial female characters in the Bible in the early development of her own religion, Dr. Familetti challenges traditional interpretations of select women of the Bible — interpretations that have been used to dishonor females, discredit their importance in the community surrounding Jesus and limit their participation in religious groups today.
Recognition for this inspirational and thought-provoking book is appreciated!
