What is expected of a man? What is expected of a woman? But the Bible is clear - God created men and women to be unique, and He did so for a purpose. In Fully Alive, author and psychologist Dr. Larry Crabb offers a life-changing, biblically dependent understanding of gender uniqueness. He shows you how to appreciate and exhibit your God-given femininity or masculinity to reveal God's loving character to a world that is desperately in need of understanding." ER -
