Publisher Description
The Bible is clear that women as well as men are created in God's image and intended to serve him with their lives. But what does this look like for women in the church? Helping church leaders think through what a Bible-centered women’s ministry looks like, this collection of essays by respected Bible teachers and authors such as Gloria Furman, Nancy Guthrie, and Susan Hunt addresses a variety of topics relevant to women. Whether exploring the importance of intergenerational relationships, the Bible’s teaching on sexuality, or women’s roles in the church and the home, this book of wise teaching and practical instruction will become a must-have resource for anyone interested in bolstering the health and vitality of Christian women in the context of the local church.

“Here is a book that focuses on the possibilities and not just the problems of ministry among women. It is written by women from a wide range of ministry contexts, but all with hearts that beat with a common gospel rhythm. Every chapter is grounded in scripture and wonderfully practical. Women and men of the word, read it and be encouraged by all the gospel possibilities.”
— Jenny Salt, dean of students, Sydney Missionary and Bible College
Quotes
-
“Out of both biblical conviction and years of experience, these women think seriously about discipleship, evangelism, intergenerational mentoring, and compassion…Although this is a book by women to foster “Word-filled women’s ministry,” much of it will be read with equal profit by men.”
— D. A. Carson, PhD, research professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School -
“Word-Filled Women’s Ministry is written for the bustling daughters of Christ, who need God’s word to train and sustain them in their various labors…This book is an incentive…casting a vision for what can and ought to happen when the Bible takes its rightful place at the center of women’s ministry.”
— Megan Hill, author of Praying Together -
“Word-Filled Women’s Ministry…It’s more than a book. These contributors represent a movement of teachers guiding women to find hope and freedom and salvation in the gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed in his word. I couldn’t more highly esteem these writers, and I pray that you will take up their charge to take up the word.”
— Collin Hansen, editorial director, The Gospel Coalition -
“Women’s ministry is ultimately not about women. Nor is it about programs. It’s about the glory of God and the health of his church. Word-Filled Women’s Ministry is a much-needed resource for both men and women to consider the necessity of ministry among women as well as the centrality of the word for cultivating a church in which women flourish.”
— Melissa B. Kruger, author of The Envy of Eve
