"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."
