Text:God's Word to Women:Foreword to the 2005 Edition

To God be the glory for the measure of revelation given to Katharine Bushnell, faithful to the truth she has proclaimed about what God intended in His original plan for women. Through Katharine’s zeal, His beauty has come forth out of ashes into the lives of many.

What a blessing to see what God has done to preserve this book—initially through Ray Munson, a pastor who acknowledged his indebtedness to the body of Christ for the reprinting of the book. Then, through Bernice Menold and Cosette Jolliff, who actually participated in a couple of reprints with Ray Munson, followed by Christians for Biblical Equality, the book continued to be kept in print. Now, three of us, Pat Joyce, Barbara Collins and Gay Anderson are keeping Bushnell’s legacy alive and are humbled that our Lord has called us for such a time as this--in the reprinting of God’s Word to Women.

In the decision to reprint and reformat, the size was increased and the font was changed for easier reading. Also, a timeline of the life of Katharine Bushnell was added at the end of the book. Since the Holy Spirit has been carefully watching this book’s safekeeping, He will surely continue to preserve it until it fulfills the purpose for which it was intended.

“The Lord gives the word (of power); the women who bear and publish (the news) are a great host.” Psalm 68:11, Amplified.
