"Susan Jones has written a marvellously engaging theological discussion set around two women meeting regularly for coffee. I love the way the book bravely delves into taboo subjects and dissects Scriptural verses. It could have been a rather heavy tome, but it isn't. Susan has a deft hand exploring notions of God and women in the Bible. Interspersed with the discussion is poetry that glides and sings its way throughout. What a refreshing book!"

Rose Riddell, author of To be Fair: Confessions of a District Court Judge

"It's marvellous! Susan has managed to distil numerous theologians not to mention her own thought PLUS poetry with humanity and elegance. The result is a book I didn't want to put down till I'd finished. It left me looking for more."

Trish Patrick

"A super read. I gained a lot. Women are great. What the men of the church have missed out on over the centuries."

Yvonne Wilkie

"At last, a pillar of the church, a Doctor of Theology, a scholar and a life-long disciple of Christ, has gathered in one book, a multiplicity of inspirational facts, lists of Biblical names, historical details and research from a wide selection of writings, teachers, theologians and Biblical scholarship. They reveal a perspective of Being Woman in the World which honours both women and God. I believe this book will give women hope for a better future for their daughters and sons, and ultimately go far towards healing our planet.

The magic of this book is that the style of writing is so totally non-patriarchal! A local coffee bar, an inquiring student, moments of humour, poignant, appropriate poems, heart-breaking insights. And an author who gives us an insight into her strong caring, compassionate connection to her audience, her beliefs, her God, herself and to full disclosure of the truth of Being Woman in the World!
