New York Times best selling author Lisa Bevere announces new book “The Fight for Female: Reclaiming Our Divine Identity”

Lisa Bevere, New York Times bestselling author and internationally known speaker, uncovers the truth about the dark agenda against women and provides guidance to how women can reclaim their divine identity in her new book, The Fight for Female, releasing September 3, 2024. 

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE / July 23, 2024 – From author of Without Rival, Girls with Swords, Lioness Arising, and Strong, Lisa Bevere’s newest book ‘The Fight For Female: Reclaiming Our Divine Identity’ recovers truth in a culture of lies and offers a way forward that encourages women to embrace their divine identity.

What is behind the widespread attempt to erase the essence of womanhood through manipulation, confusion, and sexualization? Lisa Bevere uncovers the truth, revealing the dark agenda against women and providing guidance to how women can reclaim their divine identity. The Fight for Female offers a biblically-grounded perspective on womanhood, equipping women everywhere to bring the fullness of their God-given femininity to a world in need of answers.
“I believe it’s a time for us to have real, honest, intimate conversations and emerge with god-inspired solutions, equal to the challenges of our day. This is a time for us as women to rise up, confident in our God-given identity, clear on our commission, and courageous in our calling.”Lisa Bevere

Lisa Bevere writes about the enemy’s attack on women in modern-day culture and points women to their divine birthright. She equips women to resist the false narratives around gender and to embrace the fulfillment that comes by living unashamedly as daughters of Christ.
The younger generation is fighting a battle within themselves that culture is telling them must be fixed from the outside. Lisa Bevere addresses these challenges with fresh, unapologetic boldness, arguing that we will never experience the deep transformation we long for if we reject our very formation in God’s image. 

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING 
“Lisa is a courageous and loving voice for truth. Her willingness to engage the most important and controversial topics of the day with boldness and compassion should be an example to others, especially when fear of offending tragically silences many good people. The culture today needs more passionate women willing to seek the truth and dedicated to live and speak it, even when it costs.”  
– Lila Rose, Founder of Live Action

“Lisa addresses what it means to be female with tender yet unapologetic truth. The answers we are searching for are found through transformation rather than by questioning our formation.”
– Christine Caine, Best-Selling Author & Founder of Propel Women. 

SYNOPSIS 
The very idea of womanhood is under assault. Women are being sexualized by culture, repressed and silenced by much of the church, and minimized and redefined by language. Make no mistake about it: We are at war—for ourselves, our families, and the very lives of our sons and daughters. The question is, why? And with whom are we fighting?

While it’s tempting to label people as our enemy, our true adversary is far more sinister, working in the shadows to undermine the very essence of womanhood, and with it, the divine image of male and female. Revelation 12 speaks of a dragon who is enraged with the woman and makes war on her children. This is a battle of cosmic proportions requiring heavenly solutions and insight. To win, we must first understand how he works and what he’s after.

In The Fight for Female, Lisa Bevere pulls back the curtain on what’s really going on in this cultural moment, and more importantly, what we can do about it, offering a way forward that transcends familiar talking points and drives us to find God-inspired answers.
This is not the time to cower or to compromise. Our marriages, children, churches, communities, and futures depend on us to be up to the task. This is your clarion call. Female is worth fighting for.
