Publisher's Synopsis
What if manhood was never meant to be dominant-and womanhood was never meant to be defiant?
What if the chaos we call progress is really just a detour from divine design?
In Return to Design: Rediscovering the Ideal Man and Woman, A.A. Castor confronts the gender confusion, role reversals, and cultural noise of our time with unapologetic clarity rooted in Scripture and timeless tradition. This book is not another commentary-it's a correction.
With piercing insight, Castor reveals how modern society abandoned the original blueprint for masculinity and femininity-and how that abandonment fractured families, diluted purpose, and created the emotional, relational, and spiritual disarray we now normalize.
You'll uncover:
- Why the biblical definition of "helper" is sacred, not secondary
- How true masculinity bleeds before it leads-like Christ did
- Why femininity radiates through modesty, dignity, and power under control
- How headship and submission are about harmony, not hierarchy
- Why motherhood is dominion-not domestication
- How media mocked fathers and weaponized rebellion as empowerment
- And why the union of Christ and the Church is the only map that still makes sense
Each chapter is a mirror-shattering illusions and calling readers back to the divine original. This book will offend the performative and empower the repentant. It isn't written to win culture's applause-it's written to rebuild what culture broke.
If you believe we lost something sacred in our rush to redefine everything-this book is your blueprint back.
