Valued by God: Elevating the Value of Women's Voices in the Church
In Valued by God, Sheri A. Bradley challenges the traditional constraints placed on women in the church, arguing that these limits not only undermine women's God-given talents but also hurt the church's mission. This book is a clarion call for modern-day churches to rethink and reconstruct their approach to women in ministry. Bradley posits that by aligning with the value that God places on all individuals, churches will not only move towards gender equality but will also discover a fuller expression of the Christian faith community. Embracing a future where the diverse gifts of every person are not only recognized but celebrated will foster a more vibrant and dynamic body of Christ. Through rigorous scholarship and passionate advocacy, Bradley offers an invitation to a reformation of perspective that is rooted in biblical truth, historical awareness, and a heartfelt conviction that every believer, regardless of gender, is indeed valued by God.

Praise for this book
"Sheri Bradley offers an accessible, credible, and poignant exploration of one of the most important questions the church faces today: will we welcome and empower the voices and leadership of women in our churches? Bradley answers this question through the lens of God's story in Scripture, recognizing the participation of women in that story, and affirms God's intent in creation (Gen 1:26-28) and new creation (Gal 3:28). This is both a respectful and hopeful book, and it deserves reading and study."
--John Mark Hicks, retired professor of theology, Lipscomb University
"In this carefully researched, engaging, and compelling study, Sheri Bradley appeals to Scripture, history, culture, and life experience to call the church back to the freedoms God originally intended for women, often lost through misinterpreted Scriptures. Her appeals for the next steps are invaluable. I believe that if readers thoughtfully engage in the discussion questions she offers, we can progress toward greater unity of thought resulting in a brighter reflection of God's will as we join him in his divine mission."
