Go Tell Empowering Stories of Women Overcoming Adversities: A Guide to Women's Ministry:A Guide to Women's Ministry

by Jacqueline Leonard (Editor), Tawana Davis (Editor)

Overview

This book consists of an anthology of essays that cover a broad range of women's experiences. The introductory chapter is followed by six essays and a sermon by a number of women across the spectrum. The essays are poignant stories of empowerment as women share how they worked through adversities to choose an abundant life. At the end of each essay, discussion questions may be used to lead small group study, women's conferences, or women's Bible study. Likewise, the essays may be used as a springboard for others to share their stories in churches and other safe spaces. In this way, the voices of those who are hurting in local congregations can be shared for the purpose of healing and liberation.

Editorial Reviews

Dr. Leonard's and Rev. Davis's edited text may well serve as the first step of support to assist African American women of the Christian faith to take off their masks, even before God. In the throes of gut-wrenching, soul-searing trauma, each writer chooses to keep faith with Jesus Christ. This commitment deepens intimacy with the Holy Spirit and results in each women's discovery of life-changing capabilities within herself.

To the contributors of this informative and inspirational book I say, "Thank you!" for the courageous, powerful and poignant sharing of your stories of overcoming and deliverance. Your "telling" enlivens in the reader the belief and confidence that by the grace of God, they, too, can move "through" the adversities and challenges of their lives and continue to strive toward their full God-given potential.
