A successful woman pastor, who raises questions about the inclusiveness of the church, and a prominent male pastor, with 'uplook' visions for the future of women, combine their scriptural insights in a collection of challenging sermons. Suzan Johnson Cook describes the project as 'an exciting experiment between two African American pastors concerned with women and men in the church.' Eight women whose roles in Jesus' life are not often highlighted in the pulpit are subjects of sixteen thought-provoking sermons. Each woman's story is discussed from two perspectives. In these sensitive profiles of faith, pastors will find fresh sermon ideas that speak eloquently to the needs of both women and men.
