J. Ligon Duncan, Susan Hunt

Crossway, 2006 - Religion - 175 pages

Susan Hunt and Ligon Duncan walk through the Scriptures to help readers better understand what it means to have an effective, biblical womenÕs ministry in the church. The benefits of womenÕs ministries are great: training and discipling, evangelizing, and reaching out to the poor and needy. This book, written by seasoned ministry leaders, provides many proven tools to help start a womenÕs ministry in your church.

ÒWhat sets this book apart is not only the authorsÕ careful thought but their compelling personal examples. The result is a deeply biblical yet intensely practical guide that will greatly benefit not only women, but pastors as well.Ó
ÑC. J. Mahaney, Sovereign Grace Ministries

ÒIn this day and age, we need more courageous visionaries who seek to release women in ministry while honoring the complementarian framework of GodÕs Word. This is a helpful resource for all who wish to join in this pursuit.Ó
ÑMary A. Kassian, Distinguished Professor of WomenÕs Studies, Southern Baptist Seminary, Louisville

ÒWomenÕs Ministry is a biblically rich reflection of the authorsÕ very thesisÑwhen men and women humbly and joyfully complement each otherÕs God-given roles and gifts, spiritual grace flows for the nurture of His Church.Ó
ÑPeter Lillback, Senior Pastor, Proclamation Presbyterian Church; president, Westminster Theological Seminary

ÒFinally, Ligon Duncan and Susan Hunt have given the church a clear theological framework from which to build an effective womenÕs ministry.Ó
ÑRandy Stinson, Executive Director, Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood
