Today Christian leaders are abandoning the ministry in record numbers. This reality is the occasion for Wisdom and Resilience. God’s method for the Church’s sustainability has not changed. Older, experienced leaders are responsible to engage, equip, and encourage their younger counterparts.
Drawing both from her own life and from the lives of women throughout Church history, the author offers short meditations on the difficulties, disappointments, and delights of women’s ministry. Useful for group discussion as well as for personal edification, Wisdom and Resilience provides questions for community consideration. Christian women, whether serving as volunteers or as paid ministers, need one another. By reflecting together, women in leadership can strengthen each other as they serve God well in their generation.
