Half the Sky

"Half the Sky" is a book that my friend nurse Deb Louden was reading aboard the Africa Mercy and I decided to read it, too.  It's by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn and I found it at the local library.  It's eye opening regarding the oppression of women world wide.  I believe the book is sorely lacking in Jesus, but if I were to share with you two things from it, they would be this:
Never give up;
We can make a difference IF WE ARE WILLING.
It's not for the faint of heart or for those who like their heads stuck in the sand.  If that's not you, I encourage you to challenge yourself for as the Chinese proverb says . . .

Women hold up half the sky.
