Quotes by Katelyn Beaty  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“If mainstream culture thinks gender roles are unimportant, church culture makes them too important.”
Katelyn Beaty, A Woman's Place: A Christian Vision for Your Calling in the Office, the Home, and the World

“Christian culture has too often offered women a push toward contentment that can numb us to our own desires, without offering the tools to discern whether those desires could be good or Holy-Spirit-inspired.”
Katelyn Beaty, A Woman's Place: A Christian Vision for Your Calling in the Office, the Home, and the World

“When we have to make a list of exceptions to apply a model of womanhood, it is good to ask whether that model holds much meaning.”
Katelyn Beaty, A Woman's Place: A Christian Vision for Your Calling in the Office, the Home, and the World
