Perfection Collides With Free Will: What Genesis, Jesus & his apostles teach about being male & female in a troubled world

By Gary A Williams and Gary A. Williams

What's the truth about God's plan for men and women?

Millions are searching for wisdom about gender roles and relationships, often finding more questions than answers. These questions seem harder than ever to unravel now that there's a push in society to use terms such as cisgender and non-binary to define gender and many Christians use egalitarian and complementarian to define roles. But what if the truth everyone is looking for has been available in Scripture all along and we haven't recognized it through the dark curtain of culture and tradition?

Former journalist and long-time Christ follower Gary Williams peels back the curtain, beginning with an in-depth look at the first three chapters of Genesis. Usually seen as a history of (or metaphor about) human origin, Genesis is really about purpose and relationships:

- why we exist;

- how we are meant to live as men and women; and

- how a historically bad rebellion threw all relationships into turmoil.

The good news is that God did not walk away from the first rebels, Adam and Eve. Instead, He set in motion a plan to reconcile the relationships they broke, relationships that for many are still broken today. God's plan becomes clear as this insightful study transitions from Genesis to the New Testament. It's there we see Jesus and his apostles radically revising society's expectations for both women and men as they begin to restore God's original design for humanity.

Along the way, readers discover principles that have the power to improve relationships with the people around them, be it at home, work, church, in the community or even in social media.
