Synopsis

Women now have professional opportunities beyond what previous generations ever imagined. But as our roles in public life have grown, the church's vision for women's work and calling has not grown with us, leaving us feeling isolated and under-resourced. Christian women face multiple tensions between home and work, navigating complex gender dynamics in the workplace and social pressure to hold together picture-perfect lives.

Joanna Meyer addresses a critical gap in Christian women's discipleship by speaking to the roles we play in public and professional life. Acknowledging the brokenness of workplaces and industries, she provides a theological framework for women's work and influence and offers resources for the challenges of working life. This book will help you: ignite your vocational imagination, with a biblical framework for work and calling; build strength from within, with emotional and spiritual health to support your work; navigate common workplace challenges, with practical tools to help your influence grow; and pursue purposeful relationships, collaborating and building strong relationships with others.

Learn from the lived experience of godly female leaders and discover how women can have a redemptive impact through our work.

Goodreads review by Megan on June 04, 2024

An easy to read, encouraging, helpful read to engage practically with work and calling. The author discusses a variety of topics such as mentorship, rest and avoiding burnout, and growing in humble confidence. Although I didn't love that the author chose to focus on women being the ones to restore a......more

Goodreads review by Jen on March 09, 2025

I enjoyed the quick read and impact with the practical questions at the end of each chapter to focus on. The book approach was a coaching guide to reflect and dive deeper into the topics with God, rather than an instruction manual on how to solve each of these topics within the book itself. I apprec......more

Goodreads review by Libby on October 19, 2023

Full disclosure: Joanna is a friend of mine, so I'm prejudiced in favor of her writing, not just because of our friendship but because of the thoughtful, godly approach that she brings to questions about faith and work and women's place in both. Review based on an eARC received through NetGalley. I a......more
