Book Review: Fashioned to Reign by Kris Vallotton

As summer fades into the proverbial sunset, I’ve been reading. Today I’m reviewing Fashioned to Reign by Kris Vallotton.

It’s Time for a Revolution

In the Garden, woman was taken out of man to stand by his side and co-reign with him. But Satan’s schemes have robbed women of their rightful identity, disempowering and defacing them. The world aches for God’s original partnership to be brought into balance once more–and it can be.
Join Kris Vallotton for an extraordinary journey of eye-opening insight, including

• God’s true plan and purpose for women
• Jesus’ radical teachings and care for women
• men’s important role in restoring women
• the true meaning of difficult Bible passages about women
• examples of women in leadership as God intended

God fashioned women to reign alongside men. Jesus set women free to be beautiful and powerful. It’s time for us, as daughters and sons of the King, to rule together in glory again. Will you join the revolution?

“We have failed to realize that Jesus founded the women’s liberation movement more than two thousand years ago. Isn’t it high time His Church led the revolution?”–Kris Vallotton

Fashioned to Reign is a great premise and I’m all for the revolution Kris Vallotton is believing for. He mixes Scripture with empowering examples of women who made an impact despite the odds against them. Those vignettes include Mother Theresa and Joan of Arc, and there were things I learned from those examples that I had not been aware of prior to reading.

That said, the setup he describes surrounding the Garden of Eden is one I’ve read before, and for me, a stronger impression came from John and Stasi Eldredge’s Captivating. When Vallotton inserts his own examples, I found them distracting. However, when he talks about his wife and her gentle spirit, I realized that perhaps an even better way to tackle this topic would have been either for her to co author with him, or for her to take this book on herself.

I think it’s a good read, but because I already read Captivating, a lot of the information was a repeat. The leadership examples were great and inspiring. For an even better read, I really wish his wife had an active role in this project.
