Stirring Silent Generations | Burk, Dana

In Titus 2:1-5, the Apostle Paul admonishes his young protégé, Titus, to 'speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine' and, further instructs older women in the church to 'teach the younger women'. In her book, Stirring Silent Generations, Dana Burk explores the implications these instructions, given to Titus, by the Holy Spirit, have on the lives of women in the modern church of today. There are a number of controversial subjects addressed in these few short verses, and it's the author's hope that, through this study, we come to understand what God's expectations are for the 21st century woman. She poses questions such as: Can we over-emphasis the importance of taking seriously each word our Lord has recorded for us? Can we be 'too' careful about obeying His commands? Can we afford to carelessly neglect His instructions? Dana suggests that there often exists, among the women in the church, what she calls 'Silent Generations': a generation that has not been teaching and a generation that has not been listening. Her goal is to awaken that deep inner desire that Jehovah has placed in each of us to seek Him and His wishes, thus transforming each individual life - so we become women that glorify God - that older women might be teaching and that younger women might be learning in order that they may be teachers to future generations. Join her on this journey of awakening the Titus 2 woman that lies in each of us.
