Influential Women: From the New Testament to Today - How Women Can Build Up or Undermine Their Local Church

By Wendy Virgo

Book Overview

Wendy offers studies of key women in the New Testament as a starting point for a series of reflections on women's roles in the church today. Some of these women were saints, full of good works; some were frankly poisonous and did considerable harm. From her long experience within Newfrontiers, Wendy offers a good deal of shrewd advice and writes candidly about her own struggles to fit into church structures. Women can be powerful in a church and can be influential in changing it from a sick community to a healthy one. They can be a tremendous asset or a huge liability. They can influence the whole ambience of a church . . . The pages of the New Testament contain a surprising number of references to women to whom we can relate as we seek to build good healthy churches in the twenty-first century.
