Women Leading Women

It's like birthing a baby, but it took a lot longer. Twenty-five years for me and a few less for Terri but well worth the wait. Our desire in combining our experience in leading women is to make it a bit easier for you. Basically, our new baby, Women Leading Women, is our gift to you so that you don't have to learn it the hard way like we did.


Real babies kick and cry but they give lots of love too. We can attest to the fact that there were a few wiggles and tears during the writing but for the most part, there was a huge amount of love poured out. Both in the learning over the years as well as in the writing. If just one person out there learns from our experience, then it was all worth it.

We'd love to share it all with you. Can you believe that B&H Academic actually wants to be paid for it? You know we'd love to give it away. From the bottom of our hearts, we just want you to know that you are loved by God and gifted for His purpose. So help us if you will, and buy a copy for yourself, your women's ministry leaders, your pastor and ministry staff, and anyone who you think might benefit by all those years of how the Lord has taught us what ministry and evangelism and leadership with women is all about.

During the week of the Southern Baptist Convention in Louisville, the convention LifeWay store will feature it for only $19.99 so get it there if you can. Southern Seminary's booth will hosting a signing on Wed June 24 at 11:30am. If you can't make it, you can always go online and buy it at http://www.amazon.com/ or http://www.lifeway.com/ or a host of other places.

I used to think that when someone wrote a book, that was all they had to say. I have learned that books just scratch the surface of learning. So while I write some other things, I thought I'd share with you some things that I have learned along the way about evangelistic leadership with women. I've invited my dearest partner in ministry, Tracy Jones, to blog some ideas with me. There will be some others who join us. Our heart's desire is that you learn that God has you gifted2go!
