Overview

As Co-founder and Senior Pastor of Hillsong Church and founder of The Colour Sisterhood, Bobbie Houston paints a vision of God's plan for women of all ages and backgrounds to flourish, empower each other, and unite to change the world.

We don't need to look far to realize that not all women live with the same opportunities and confidence. The Sisterhood invites women to explore and expand what they believe about God, themselves, and their responsibility to the world around them. Tracing the rise of Hillsong Church's global Sisterhood movement, author Bobbie Houston challenges women to join her in creating a new era of outreach. Readers will learn how to embrace their individual gifts and value as women, growing seeds of change into greater possibilities for women everywhere. If one woman can change her world, then only heaven truly knows what an entire company of women can achieve.

From the Publisher

03/14/2016
Houston (I’ll Have What She’s Having), cofounder and senior pastor of Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia, recounts the birth and growth of the Colour Sisterhood and Colour Conference, a women’s Christian ministry and movement. The book is both memoir and manifesto, combining personal anecdotes about the development of Houston’s women’s initiative and spiritual reflections on femininity and women’s place within the church and world. Houston is forthright about the self-doubts and struggles she has faced throughout the movement’s history, and candid about the tremendous amount of work that has gone into its development. She traces how Colour Sisterhood has evolved over the years, noting its increased focus on humanitarian issues such as female genital mutilation. “The invitation was always to place value upon womanhood, in order that she can arise and place value upon humanity,” she writes. “Never underestimate the wonder of what risen women can do when merely believed in.” Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the Colour Conference, Houston provides a behind-the-scenes look at what has become a signature annual event and powerful ministry that attracts tens of thousands of women from around the world.
