Rosaria Butterfield (featured regularly on Focus on the Family) was a radical, committed, unbeliever drawn to the Lord in 1999. Her background and life story gives a compelling perspective to help equip women to engage in the conversations surrounding five common lies our culture is embracing about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty, from her book Five Lies of Our Anti Christian Age. As we are anchored in the unapologetic truth of the Bible and walk in Christ-like love, we can engage the modern culture on these issues and stand firm in our faith and our godly womanhood.
