Leading Ladies: Transformative Biblical Images for Women's
LeadershipLeading Ladies: Transformative Biblical Images for Women's
LeadershipA new perspective for women's leadership in the 21st century.
For all the strong women unrecognized as leaders . . . for all
the women whose leadership styles are measured against male role models . . .
for all the women who quietly influence their world without the official
designation of "leader" . . . Dr. Porter introduces four female
archetypes from the Bible whose stories empower women to claim their full
leadership potential.
Leading Ladies presents a multiethnic approach, and women in churches, home-based businesses, neighborhood groups, community activism, offices, and education will find themselves in these pages. A transforming book for group or individual study, with end-of-chapter questions for reflection and discussion.
"A major breakthrough in our understanding of women as leaders."--Dr. Suzanne W. Morse, Ph.D., Executive Director, Pew Partnership for Civic Change
"An affirmative voice for the woman who feels the call of leadership"--Samira Elin Robinson, Facilitator, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago
The four images of leadership Dr. Porter presents are: the leader as Midwife, the leader as Choreographer, the leader as Weaver, and the leader as Intercessor.
Dr. Jeanne Porter teaches at North Park University and at McCormick Theological Seminary.
