Women in God’s Mission: Accepting the Invitation to Serve and Lead, by Mary T. Lederleitner. IVP Books, 2018. 240 pages.
Mission researcher Mary Lederleitner, author of Cross-Cultural Partnerships, surveyed 95 respected women in mission leadership from 30 countries. The author shares their experiences in their own words and identifies best practices and key traits of thriving leaders.
Readers will appreciate the author’s commitment to honoring those who hold diverse views about gender roles without failing to address the realities of gender discrimination. I found this book well written, carefully documented, and rich with examples. The suggestions for how husbands and colleagues can help women thrive were also helpful. I’d recommend this book to both men and women.
» Purchase from Amazon (or elsewhere).
» I also just finished another new book from IVP, Eddie Byun’s Praying for Your Missionary: How Prayers from Home Can Reach the Nations. Might make a good gift for senders and supporters. I’ll post a review on Amazon.
