Bound and Determined : Christian Men and Women in Partnership

Men and women work together every day in a variety of relationships as friends, spouses, and colleagues. We try to understand and support one another, but we frequently find ourselves confused and frustrated in our relationships. Too often, we joke around about our differences or explain them away. Sometimes we give up in despair, or, perhaps worse, we resort to keeping the sexes apart and avoid real and meaningful interaction. In Bound Determined, author Jeanene Reese draws on years of her own research and explores the ways in which God designed men and women to work together.

Jeanene Reese lives and works in many different partnerships. As an associate professor in a mostly male department, she meets daily opportunities to partner with her male colleagues and many of her students. With her nearly forty years of experience in ministry, she has formed meaningful partnerships across the United States and around the world. As a wife, mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother, she has enjoyed, and been challenged by, the most intimate partnerships possible. She lives with her family in Abilene, Texas.
