Hot Off the Press
Review of “Resolving My Battle of the Sexes: Awakening to Wholeness in Christ” by Jenny West.
Through the open lens of Jenny’s gut-wrenching honesty, we can see ourselves. Jenny’s story is our story. Maybe not in the details, but in the depths of our spirits we too have lived this story – different yet profoundly the same – we share the same inner ground zero, the same pain and hunger.
Christ Solved the Human Dilemma
The vast potential of every person is going untapped. We may win gold medals, do something heroic, be smartest or funniest, be the most popular or most beautiful or have the most toys. Yet the stupendous potential of our minds and hearts remains out of reach.
It’s evident we can’t solve the human dilemma by trying harder. We need help. Our minds and hearts, our relationships and our planet – all are being ruined by lack of that ultimate solution. The world is a mess. It all seems so complicated, yet there are two basic underlying problems driving the whole thing. Both problems must be solved. And we must let Christ solve these two essential problems – or we will live defeated.
Needing & Opposing
Longing For Connection
Male and Female – we yearn to connect, to belong, to feel complete. This primal drive is imperative—the center of our hopes and dreams, and ground zero of our angst and tears. Our solution for “The Battle of the Sexes” was distressed self-effort and demands for the other person’s cooperation. And then try it again. Heartbreak and disappointment abound. And even our moments of “success” never satisfy our dream of transcendent relationship.
Christ came to resolve our dilemma – once and for all. God’s plan is startling – ultimate oneness between male and female. This unity/oneness/wholeness/completeness is a new state of being. Here is the catch: It’s only available within Christ.
The Redemptive Last Days
The simplest way to understand God’s End-Times plan is Jesus’ story of The Prodigal and The Elder Sister (Luke 15:11-32). The Prodigal-Elder Sister story gives an insightful overview of Old Testament and New Testament prophecies – as seen from the relational heart level.
