A wonderful, bold and well researched women leadership book written by author Nicole L Davis specially for the Christian women group serving the ministry in churches. The book starts with scripture reading Ephesians 2: 1-10 which was very convicting to me and my intentions of the heart. The book cover and the title of this book is captivating.
I found this non-fiction writing very interesting and eye opening for the Christian woman group who are regularly going to church on Sunday mornings also those women who desire for leadership roles in church and career life. The author points out that what is required from us by God is our obedience, God is in control all the way. I appreciate Nicole's own story from her experience how she was called by God to have recruited into leadership role of Director for the women's ministry. The topic of women becoming female leaders like woman pastor is a source of great debate for centuries by the church stance.
Even when Nicole couldn't believe accepting something that didn't align with her family values or with the bible, her sons intently accepted what she was accomplishing. Nicole felt it was selfishness to look past church stance on women in the pulpit. It is very evident that it's god's calling in her life to care for women in her church to understand their unique purpose and destiny.
Very enjoyable read. From her doctoral research dissertation entitled Women in Ministry: How conflicts between God's purpose and church doctrine impact the efficacy of female church leaders she has interviewed men and women who are church leaders. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 "The conflict," Part 2 "The Exploration," Part 3, 'The Resolution."
Thank to WestBow Press Publishers, NetGalley and Dr. Nicole L Davis for this copy in exchange for my review.
