This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new spiritual awakening is sweeping the entire world, one in which God is liberating women to release their Divinely-ordained roles in Christian ministry. This awakening, reflecting God's original design from the first days of Creation, is also a key element of Jesus' Full Gospel of the Kingdom of God. Accordingly, it is in the process of eclipsing the impact of every prior awakening and reformation in Church history. Given the global scope of its features, it is virtually certain to dramatically and positively impact the lives of every Christian living on Planet Earth. Jesus said He came to provide freedom to those held captive. Among those prisoners are the hundreds of millions of Christian women whose devoted service to God has been restricted by centuries of unwarranted sexism and gender bias. This sexism has been systemically institutionalized within Jesus' Church for most of its history, even if based on well-intentioned, if mistaken, interpretations. The Church, and every member of it, as well as countless lost souls, have therefore been unnecessarily denied every related ministry benefit. In opposition to this pervasive sexism, this book interprets the entire Bible, and Jesus' eternal Gospel which it proclaims, to reveal that God has not imposed any such gender-based restrictions on women in Christian ministry. Its compelling re-evaluations of every relevant Biblical passage reveal that God's eternal intention is for women to minister alongside men as their equals in every available office and role. This book intends to not only acquaint the Church with the existence of this awakening and to justify it, but also to encourage the Church to embrace it, participate in it, and to actively promote it. Tom is a life-long disciple of Jesus whose passion is to help every Christian walk in the saving, dunamis-power of Jesus' Full Gospel. Tom relies on the Holy Spirit and his analytical skills as a professional engineer to guide his interpretation of the Bible. He has written several books, and has hosted podcasts and monthly gatherings on how to walk in the Kingdom of God in everyday life. He enjoys writing and cooking, and is an avid arm-chair film critic. He and his wife, Nancy James, are motivational speakers who have travelled to four continents. They have 3 grown children and reside in Houston, Texas, USA.

Book excerpt: Written with poetic rhythm, a prophetic voice, and a deeply biblical foundation, this loving yet fearless book urges today’s church to move beyond man-made restrictions and fully welcome women’s diverse voices and experiences. A freedom song for the church. Sarah Bessey didn’t ask for Jesus to come in and mess up all her ideas about a woman’s place in the world and in the church. But patriarchy, she came to learn, was not God’s dream for humanity. Bessey engages critically with Scripture in this gentle and provocative love letter to the Church. Written with poetic rhythm, a prophetic voice, and a deeply biblical foundation, this loving yet fearless book urges today’s church to move beyond man-made restrictions and fully welcome women’s diverse voices and experiences. It’s at once a call to find freedom in the fullness, hope, glory, and work of Christ, and a very personal and moving story of how Jesus made a feminist out of her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the history of women, in religion as in other fields, is lost because it was overlooked or considered unimportant. It is therefore surprising that so many fragments of women's stories survive in the New Testament texts composed by men. Why did they include so many references to women and why are women, as a group, treated so positively by the male New Testament writers? Women in the New Testament shows how the stories of women are an integral part of the Gospel and its meaning for us. It also relays how we can respond to the challenge these women represent, whether we are men trying to understand or women trying to find our voices within the tradition of faith found in the New Testament. Chapter one discusses three women of expectant faith. Chapters two and three deal with women who are changed by Jesus. Chapter four focuses on New Testament women of influence. Chapters five and six show how women disciples spread and gave shape to the gospel message. Chapters are "Women of Expectant Faith," “Women Changed by Jesus,” “More Women Changed by Jesus,” “Women of Prominence,” “Women and Discipleship,” and “More Women and Discipleship.” Mary Ann Getty-Sullivan, PhD, teaches at St. Vincent College and St. Vincent Seminary, Latrobe, Pennsylvania. She is the author of First and Second Corinthians from the Collegeville Bible Commentary series, author of the God Speaks to Us series of children's books, and editor of the Zacchaeus Studies: New Testament series published by The Liturgical Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kevin Giles has been writing on women in the Bible for over forty years. In this book, What the Bible Actually Teaches on Women, he gives the most comprehensive account to date of the competing conclusions to this question and the issues surrounding it. To understand the bitter and divisive debate among evangelicals over the status and ministry of women, it needs to be understood that those who since 1990 have called themselves "complementarians" argue that in creation before the fall God set the man over the woman. Thus, the leadership of the man and the subordination of the woman in the home, the church, and wherever possible in the world (the whole creation) is the God-given ideal that is pleasing to God. It is this "theology" that Kevin Giles deconstructs and shows to be without a biblical foundation. Giles shows that he is fully conversant with the complementarian position and yet is unpersuaded by it. He sees it as an appeal to the Bible to preserve male privilege, similar to the appeals to the Bible to validate slavery and Apartheid; appeals to the Bible made by some of the best Reformed and evangelical biblical scholars, and now seen to be special pleading. Carefully studying the limited number of texts on which complementarians predicate their theology of the sexes, Giles finds not one of them actually teaches what complementarians claim. Furthermore, complementarians too often ignore the texts that are very difficult for them. In this book the ordination of women gets only passing mention. The constant focus is on whether or not the Bible subordinates women to men as an abiding theological principle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is the book title in the form of a question? This is so because it is a question that demands an answer from every woman who reads it. Jesus asked us to pray, "Your kingdom come; Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven." What is this kingdom? What does the will of God on earth look like? Who is a kingdom woman? What makes her different from every other woman? What is God's priority for this kingdom? Find out as you engage with this book.The Church of Jesus Christ has preached all sorts of messages, doctrines, sermons on faith, healing, prosperity, how to fulfill your dreams, and so on. Indeed, these are all part of the kingdom message. However, the gospel of the kingdom of God has not occupied the pride of place it ought to have. Yet Jesus preached nothing else but the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven. All His parables were used to explain kingdom principles and the kingdom life. Could it be that the church needs to go back to basics, to discover all over again what the kingdom life is about, and what we have been saved to do? At the start of Jesus' ministry in Matthew 4, He left Nazareth and went to Galilee and began to preach saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17). We also find that whilst He was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He found Simon Peter and his brother fishing. He called them to follow Him, and they left their nets and followed Him. So also did the two sons of Zebedee, James and John. What happened next? We are told in Matthew 4:23 and 9:35 that "Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of diseases among the people." He was not preaching about 'how to heal the sick'. He preached the gospel of the kingdom, and then began to heal the sick. In other words, when people understand what the kingdom of God is about, they would understand that sickness and disease are not part of this kingdom Jesus was talking about. Could it be that we are not seeing much miracles in our churches today because we have stopped preaching the gospel of the kingdom?In chapters 5, 6, 7 of Matthew's gospel, Jesus began to teach the people about this kingdom; how this kingdom operates and what it looks like to live in this kingdom. For example in this kingdom if someone "slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also" (Matthew 5:39). In other words, you don't fight back if someone hits you. This book explores these principles and concepts of the kingdom. The Apostle Paul was responsible for over half of the contents of the New Testament. So what did he preach? In the LAST TWO verses of Acts 28:30-31 it says 'Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him'. In other words, the Apostle Paul preached the gospel of the kingdom of God, and so must we. It is my sincere prayer that this book will get us back on track.Every woman who is 'born again' and sincerely desires to live a fulfilled life, the kind of life that Jesus left His throne in heaven to bequeath to us, must read this book. Are you not tired of just keeping the motion and living a mundane life? Why are we not experiencing 'heaven on earth'? Where have we gone wrong? It is my prayer that the life of every woman that reads this book will be radically changed forever. It is time for us as kingdom women to rise up and begin to live and walk in our kingdom authority. God has overlooked our days of ignorance (Acts 17:30).Although this book focuses on women, it is not exclusively for women. Every believing man ought to read it as well so they can gain insights too about what a kingdom man looks like. More importantly, every married man after reading this book should hopefully discover how best to support his wife to live the kingdom life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loving one another as sisters and brothers in Jesus Many Christian women and men carry heavy burdens. Much teaching on gender relations, roles, and rules binds the conscience beyond what Scripture actually teaches. Gender has become a battleground for power. But God created men and women not to compete for glory but to cooperate for his glory. In Jesus and Gender, Elyse Fitzpatrick and Eric Schumacher paint a new vision for gender—Christ's gentle and lowly heart. The centrality of the gospel has been lost in gender debates. Our ultimate example is Jesus, our humble king, who used his power to serve others. So we must rethink our identities, roles, and relationships around him. Christ transformed enemies into family. Men and women are allies in God's mission. Drawing from Scripture and experience, Fitzpatrick and Schumacher show how Jesus's example speaks to all areas of our lives as men and women, including vocation, marriage, parenting, friendships, and relating to each other as sisters and brothers in Christ. Real--life testimonies from a variety of Christians—including Christine Caine, Justin Holcomb, Karen Swallow Prior, and others—show a variety of men and women freed to pursue their gifts for God's glory. Fitzpatrick and Schumacher's perspective untangles what God has said about gender from what he hasn't. By coming to Jesus, women and men can find rest.

Book excerpt: Danielle Strickland contends that women everywhere remain subjugated by cultural norms that tell them to conform, hold back, and turn aside from God's call upon their lives. Consequently many women fail to play a full part in the healing and restoration of society. The church should take the lead. In this prophetic book Danielle observes: -We should be the ones who model an alternative approach to leadership. We are the ones with the Bible and the witness of the Holy Spirit who through Scripture, reason, tradition and experience has shown, over and over again His heart for the release of women to exercise their gifts.-The book covers: The current situation (exploitation or subjugation); the historical situation (feminism and the Christian tradition); key biblical material; justice (the feminization of poverty); what does the future offer, and what should the church do?

Book excerpt: Respected scholar Dorothy Lee considers evidence from the New Testament and early church to show that women's ministry is confirmed by the biblical witness. Her comprehensive examination explores the roles women played in the Gospels and the Pauline corpus, with a particular focus on passages that have been used in the past to limit women's ministry. She argues that women in the New Testament were not only valued as disciples but also given leadership roles, which has implications for the contemporary church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women in the Ministry of Jesus is a study of both of Jesus' attitudes towards women as reflected in his words and deeds, and of the women who were part of his ministry, or who interacted with him according to the Gospel accounts. The book seeks to provide a balanced analysis of the relevant Biblical material, and also the historical background necessary to illuminate the setting of the Gospel events. Particular attention is given to related issues such as Jesus' views on marriage, the family and the single life, as well as his teaching on adultery, the laws of the clean and unclean and the sabbath. Witherington concludes that Jesus cannot be categorized neatly either as chauvinist or as feminist.
