Synopsis

Much of what men and women both think about women, gender differences, and cultural norms is remarkably under-processed. Without the benefit of intentional conversation about the barriers women face, most women are left to enter the world of leadership with inadequate awareness and resources. The acknowledgement of a woman's right to leadership is only the first step. We have not yet addressed the very common barriers women face when they enter the leadership arena, nor have we explored practical solutions to help them navigate those barriers so they can lead effectively.Women need to know that unrealistic optimism is a recipe for failure. Simply by acknowledging constraints to success, then exploring strategies to enhance leadership skills, we can help women take greater authority over their call to live out of a God-given identity and giftedness.When Women Lead is for men and women who advocate for female leadership within the Church. When women are educated about the challenges they face and are given resources to navigate beyond those challenges, their opportunity for success in ministry increases dramatically. The purpose of this book is to describe those challenges, explore practical solutions, and equip women to lead successfully and hopefully.While it is an excellent resource for women ready to enter leadership with more confidence and authority, it's also perfect for denominational leaders charged with raising up women called to leadership roles, for lay leaders who want to better understand the dynamics at work when the pastor is a woman, and for husbands, parents, and friends who desperately want to support women in their life who are living out what God has given them to do.What if the Kingdom of God is straining toward the day when all God's people are deployed in the work of the Great Commission? Women are already leading powerful movements around the world. The evangelistic explosion being documented in many closed countries is largely due to the leadership of women. Missionaries tell of the critical role of women in introducing the gospel to new groups. This book can help to equip a new generation of women to rise up with tools in hand to welcome and advance God's Kingdom on earth.Further reading is included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Ariel

I have to be honest. About halfway through this book, I stopped reading and cried. Before I finished the book, I think I did that twice more. To see in writing some of the most painful rejections that I myself have experienced in ministry, to realize that I am always entering into rooms full of men......more

Goodreads review by Rebecca

You couldn't be more wrong if you think this is another ultra-feminist read. Carolyn Moore weaves research with anecdotes and presents a compelling argument for women in leadership -- both within ministry and outside of it. She explains the differences in types of leadership, the obstacles women fac......more

Goodreads review by Maddie

“If you are a woman, the fact that you’re holding a book in your hand right now puts you in a privileged minority. You should stop and utter a prayer of thanksgiving. Then pray for your sisters who don’t read.” I was given this book as a gift from my grandpa who is a close friend of Carolyn. While I......more

Goodreads review by Dina

Moore takes this book in an unexpected direction to include a great plea for women to be involved in global missions, leading the effort to expand the church around the world. Her own stories woven in, Moore has great principles for others to glean. Appreciate her shoutouts to others who encouraged......more
