Can men and women work alongside one another with integrity in today’s sexually charged world? Edwards, Mathews and Rogers argue it is not only possible but necessary for healthy churches and ministries.
While they intentionally avoid the sensitive issue of women’s roles in ministry, the authors address the issue of how women and men effectively can overcome a variety of obstacles and work together in ministry.
The style and tone of the book will resonate best with those in the Community/Bible church world; but the authors’ balanced, practical approach to mixed-gender ministry is applicable in the Emergent and mainstream worlds, as well.
Numerous stories and anecdotes, along with sidebar insights from a variety of contributors, including Eugene Peterson, Dan Allender and Bill Hybels, greatly enhance the book’s impact.
