Christian life & practice; Christian aspects of sexuality, gender & relationships; Christian ministry & pastoral activity; Advice on careers & achieving success

This book is a clarion call to proclaim that, in all things, women and men follow Christ and pursue the callings that God alone invites us to. We all alike go where Jesus sends and serve how he instructs. If women were prohibited from participating in all parts of kingdom work, why would God equip women with so many gifts and talents in those roles? Why would he so often grant greater gifts to women than men—as pastors, preachers, teachers, and leaders?

The unique and gifted contributors to this volume are leaders in their respective fields in the church, theological education, and society. Through their personal accounts of vocational identity, they share collective wisdom and experiences in being called by God and exercising that call. Reflecting on their journeys, these extraordinary women disclose transparent stories of heartache and yet offer hope in the one whom they have chosen to follow, the Lord Jesus Christ.
