Overview

The story of the Bible is most often told as the story of men, from patriarchs to prophets, kings, disciples, and apostles. But women are there, sometimes in the background, sometimes striding powerfully onto the stage. Their story is moving, prophetic and good news for the congregations to whom we preach. Out of the Shadows seeks to enable preachers to see these often marginal characters in a new light, offering ideas about how to communicate their stories with power, resonance and punch.

This is intelligent writing which opens doors for imaginative preaching and roots this life giving ministry in prayer. The Rt Revd Alison White, Bishop of Hull ...I wholeheartedly commend this book to all who are seeking more than a cursory glance at women in the biblical texts. You will not be disappointed. Revd Alison Wilkinson, Wesley Study Centre, Durham, UK What an absolute gift Kate Bruce and Liz Shercliff have given the preacher. How boldly and vibrantly the women of scripture speak through their insightful telling of their stories. [This book] will sit firmly on my writing desk, very close to hand. Jenny Cornfield, Freelance charity consultant This book is stuffed with scriptural sleuthery, homiletical skill, and pastoral sensitivity. Kate and Liz show preachers how honouring women's stories leads to encountering God's Wisdom. Revd Matthew Allen, All Saints Centre for Mission and Ministry The gift Kate and Liz offer us afresh is the gift of the preacher, who only ever holds out a clumsy gauntleted hand and watches in wonder as the majestic eagle of the scriptures takes flight and God's voice is heard in the hearts of the hearer. Decide today that these women will not remain in the shadows. The Rt Revd Mark Tanner, Bishop of Chester
