She Leads: God’s Intent for Women in the Church

Are women allowed to have authority over men?Does God actually call women into the ministry?Does the Bible have anything to say about women in leadership roles? The answer to all of the above questions is a resounding yes! In her debut book, author Robbie Cansler delves into the scriptural witness--from Genesis all the way through the New Testament--to share stories of biblical women and show the multifaceted ways that women have always responded to the prompting of the Holy Spirit to lead God’s people in service and ministry. Cansler’s astute biblical exegesis and historical research, combined with her invitational posture, will compel readers to reflect, digest, and dialogue with others about this book. The testimony of She Leads is simple: from the very beginning up until the present time, God has been calling and equipping women alongside men to partner together to lead the people of God for the sake of the gospel.
