Power Women

Women

“I appreciate this collection of diverse and compelling essays. They are written by women in different stages of their parenting and careers, yet they all have in common a deep and thoughtful understanding of how their Christian faith informs their work and lives as mothers, professors, ministers, and community members. In its Christian emphasis, it fills an important niche in the existing academic-mother literature. The book also provides many helpful and concrete examples for other 'power women' who feel that God has called them to academia but might wonder how such a calling might look or worry that they won't be able to succeed. The authors advise other women to respond with God. 'Always God.' And that is the best advice a Christianacademic could receive.”
