Publisher's Description
Conservative evangelical women are least likely to be trained in the areas of teaching and preaching. It's a tragic state of affairs, given the central value that our tradition places on the Scriptures. In this book, Jackie Roese examines the forces, both past and present, that have discouraged women from becoming trained. We'll discover that women are indeed called, gifted, and mandated in Scripture to herald the Word of God. The first half of the book will focus on encouraging women to become as fully equipped as our male counterparts, and to use their uniquely female voice in proclaiming truth to other women in various settings outside pulpit preaching. But encouragement isn't enough. Many women who already teach Bible studies, or who desire to teach, are in no position to pursue formal studies in a seminary. To that end, the second half of She Can Teach is dedicated to developing homiletic skills. Together we will learn how to study a passage, find the main idea, and build and deliver a biblical message. By the end of this book, the reader will be better equipped to proclaim truth, through her uniquely female voice, to her female audience.

“This book is fun, and sometimes downright funny. It's also serious--sometimes deadly serious. . . . Jackie's story maps the future for many women who have a voice that needs to be heard.”
“Having led alongside Jackie for a decade, I can say this book is long overdue and yet right on time. The same passion Jackie pours out in the pulpit is poured into these pages. I'm confident you'll be encouraged by her honest stories and empowered by her practical methods. Enjoy!”
“She Can Teach offers much-needed encouragement and instruction to women with the heart and gifting to preach God's Word. Jackie uses her smart and witty style to disarm objections to female instructors while giving preachers the tools they need to powerfully communicate biblical truth. She blends pragmatism and passion beautifully into a resource I'm anxious to share with everyone I know.”
“This book is a must-have for any woman who has felt the prick in her heart from the Holy Spirit that maybe she is being called to teach the Word. Jackie Roese lays out step by step how to study a Biblical passage and build an effective message. She leaves me wanting more of Christ.”
