The Daughter of the King: Reclaiming the Role of Women in the Kingdom Paperback – February 18, 2026

For generations, debates about women in the Church have centered on a handful of New Testament passages, especially the writings of Paul, often without first examining the foundation those passages assume. This book argues that when Scripture is read out of order, its design is distorted.This work begins where the Bible begins: in Genesis. From Eden, the creation of men and woman, and the fall, it then traces the biblical blueprint through Old Testament law, laying the groundwork the New Testament authors expect their readers to already know.Only then does it turn to the passages most often used to restrict women today:Paul’s teachings on headship and submission, women teaching, silence in the church, authority, marriage, and order. Rather than dismissing these texts, this book takes them seriously; examining their language, historical context, and theological assumptions in light of the Hebrew Scriptures that shaped them.This is not a feminist manifesto, nor an attempt to erase distinctions between men and women. It is a careful reexamination of categories the Church has often conflated: access versus authority, function versus worth, restriction versus reduction. Along the way, readers will encounter familiar passages reframed, long-held assumptions challenged, and a vision of biblical womanhood that is neither burdensome nor narrow; but grounded, embodied, and covenantal.Written for women who have felt constrained by Scripture, and for men who want to understand God’s design without fear or defensiveness, this book does not ask readers to accept new conclusions blindly. It asks them to return to the text, test every assumption, and wrestle with understanding the way scripture calls us to.Because when Genesis is ignored, Paul is misunderstood.And when the foundation is restored, the conversation changes.
