Powerful & free

"Rarely does one book have so much impact on so many women.  It is a message the whole church - no, the whole world - needs to hear!"  Stacey Campbell

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase, 'women in ministry'?

1. Nursery worker
2. Children's leader
3. Pastor
4. It's complicated .....

If you are like most people, your answer would be, 'it's complicated'.  Many believers are still confused about the proper place for women in the church.  Powerful and free is a call to address the structural message of inequality.  It is not a theological treatise on the Biblical case for female leaders [there are many excellent resources for this already].  It is not a political programme to implement some kind of positive discrimination in our leadership teams, because that doesn't work.  Rather, it is an appeal to the hearts of men and women to recognize the existence of the glass ceiling for women.  Danny Silk will challenge you to align more fully with a Kingdom vision for gender-blind leadership in the body, and equal male - female partnership in the home.
