Review: Leadership for Women in the Church

Leadership for Women in the Church Leadership for Women in the Church by Susan Hunt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is written from an overall biblical perspective on the question of women and ministry. While the title might cause one to assume encouraging women reach for leadership roles within the church, the authors take the perspective that women can lead and serve from where they are. Such a perspective is important for all Christians to hear, and it is certainly encouraging for women seeking to use their gifts and talents to the glory of God.

Readers looking for a discussion on gender roles within the church or arguments for and against the ordination of women to ministry will have to look elsewhere. Again, this book is more about encouraging women to serve within various layperson capacities within the local assembly. Indeed, there is a bit of self-confidence building thrusts within the book that I'm not particularly a fan of, but some might find helpful.

Hunt and Hutcheson indeed desire the reader's encouragement. They fill each chapter with plenty of anecdotes and practical solutions. Such an approach will prove helpful for prompting some sanctified imagining of service roles within the church.

Recommended.
