Position Overview
We are seeking a contract writer to develop and write a Christ-centered book or Bible study on Proverbs 31. Far too often, Proverbs 31 is presented as an intimidating moralistic checklist or an unattainable standard of perfection that leaves women feeling exhausted, inadequate, and discouraged. This project will dismantle that paradigm, re-anchoring Proverbs 31 firmly in the gospel.
Rather than viewing the passage as a list of rules to measure up to, this resource will explore Proverbs 31 as a poem of praise for wisdom in action—pointing ultimately to Jesus Christ, who is the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:30). The project will show how knowing and relying on Jesus, rather than self-reliance, transforms how a woman lives, works, loves her family, stewards her resources, and spends her time.
We are open to different conceptual directions for this project, including:
Scope of Work
Qualifications
Commitment
Contract, per-project basis.
Compensation
Compensation is determined based on project scope and complexity.
Additional Information
Contractors are engaged based on the needs of specific projects and are not guaranteed ongoing or full-time work. Participation in meetings, workshops, or collaborative sessions may be requested depending on the project timeline.
