When Women Lead

Women

“Carolyn Moore captures the blessings and the struggles of being a woman in leadership, especially those who are strong in egalitarian and orthodox theology. She faithfully engages Scripture, her personal experience, cultural norms, and the latest sociological research. She carefully walks through the deficits women face in leadership roles and provides a roadmap for female leadership that is not defensive or tentative. This book challenged me and strengthened my ability to live out my calling to leadership within the church. executive director of the Smith Center for Evangelism, Mission & Church Growth I want to get this book into the hands of all our women pastors—and all of our men, too! Equipped with research, we all can be better prepared for the unique obstacles that accompany women’s opportunities. We will all have realistic expectations so hardships can be faced in a healthy way by everyone involved—the female pastor, her family, her congregation and its leaders, and her supervisors. I highly recommend When Women Lead!”
