Aren't women supposed to sit silently in church? Is a woman equal to a man? Can a woman lead a church or a company? What role, if any, can a woman have in church? There are a lot of questions about the role of women in society and the church. Most people arrive at an answer by what their culture or tradition has taught them. However, culture and tradition are usually wrong! God has a very real purpose and function for the woman in His plan. Yet, many don't know it because Scripture has been misinterpreted and put women in bondage. Not any more! With his inimitable style, Bishop I.V. Hilliard takes on this topic as only he can. He presents a thorough Biblical defense for women not only being allowed to serve in ministry but that they are truly equal to a man in the eyes of God. For women who have had to defend the authenticity of their calling, this book will be a welcome addition to your Biblical arsenal. For men who have been trained to view women as second-class citizens, this book will open your eyes to God's Truth. For the person who is seeking a balanced, Scriptural approach to this topic, you will be pleasantly surprised by systematic presentation on this topic. Regardless of where you are on the spectrum of women's rights, you will be encouraged and challenged as you understand God's divine purpose for women!
