Many women in the workplace today are frustrated with the reception they receive from leaders in 'the church' when God has gifted them with gifts of leadership. Organic Ministry to Women provides a wonderful Christ like mindset and roadmap for navigating these land mines resulting in many people being introduced to Jesus through them as they follow God's calling on their lives. While very practical, humorous stories inject vivid pictures as God helps these women ministry leaders through unexpected circumstances. -- (06/19/2019) Sue and Kelley bring timeless practices mixed with the heartbeat of the most effective ways to reach women in today's world. Whether you're answering the call to minister to women for the first time or have been leading for several years, Organic Ministry to Women will remind you why you said yes in the first place and fuel you to keep going. Get ready for practical steps that spark freedom to create and cultivate Spirit led ministry that transforms lives within your reach. -- (06/19/2019) Organic Ministry to Women is a must-read resource for anyone who has a heart and desire to impact women of all ages. Sue and Kelley clearly expand our understanding of modern and postmodern women in a way that opens wide the door for drawing both into authentic, intimate relationships with God and each other. Bible study is not compromised, rather enhanced alongside a fresh model. Your dream can become a flourishing reality using this resource. -- (06/19/2019) Ministry leaders eager to see the transformational power of Christ in the women they lead need this resource. Organic Ministry to Women is relevant and practical--creating the perfect balance of inspiration and how-tos. -- (06/12/2019) A lot has changed over the past seventeen years since Sue Edwards and Kelley Mathews wrote their first book about ministry with women. Organic Ministry addresses many of these changes in order to more effectively reach out and care for women in the 21st century church, campus, and mission field. The book gives excellent insights into different generations and offers practical ways to bring together women of all ages. The distinctives of large and small churches make the book applicable for any size women's ministry and the profiles of different women emphasize that God uses all types of women to impact the world for Jesus Christ. Read this book and you, too, will be better equipped to make a difference in the lives of women. -- (06/19/2019) This is such a needed resource for anyone involved in ministering to women! Organic Ministry to Women reminds us that the Church is a unique sphere where women from Gen Z to the Greatest Generation engage. This book serves as a step-by-step instruction guide to unite women across ages and stages, especially as we work to include them all in our ministry. Through the Transformation Model, Sue Edwards and Kelley Mathews empower us to focus on Bible study and prayer as the bedrock of ministry. At the same time, they encourage us to seek new ways to engage women in our congregations. If our churches can inspire women to live out Titus 2:3-5, as Edwards and Mathews describe, a watching world will be drawn to the Jesus we love and serve. -- (06/19/2019) As a mentor of young women both in the corporate world and the church, I've discipled women in a variety of settings--the local coffee shop, the boardroom, my kitchen table, via video chat from the USA to Mexico, and the typical Sunday school classroom. Except for the latter, how I minister looks nothing like how my grandmother did women's ministry. The postmodern woman no longer fits into a simple and neat, descriptive box. She juggles more than her predecessors and craves (demands) authenticity. Organic Ministry to Women is a much-needed resource helping pastoral leaders transform their methods of discipleship from the antiquated ways of their youth to what's relevant and needed for the postmodern woman today. When we, as pastoral leaders, realize we need to do the changing, we adopt the same attitude as the Apostle Paul, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. (1 Cor. 9:22 NLT) -- (06/10/2019) I am a retired Pastor of Women with a longing heart to see women grow and thrive. Most ministry books identify the challenge and peel back the layers of that challenge. Organic Ministry goes beyond and actually explains how to meet that challenge and develop a ministry that will grow each woman, and all women, into what God desires them to be. Paul advised Titus to find women who would share their lives and set an example. And here in the 21st century we are to do the same: allow women to pass through our hands and hearts and emerge to do the same for others. I highly recommend Organic Ministry to Women. Don't wait - get your copy now--it will transform your ministry and your life. -- (06/10/2019) Organic Ministry to Women should be required reading for every woman involved in ministry to women in a church, campus, or mission context! Edwards and Matthews include solid biblical support, insightful history on how ministry to women has gotten to where it is today, and very practical methodology. This is a robust organizational and leadership resource. If you are eager for effective ministry training, this book delivers essential guidance, direction and wisdom. -- (06/19/2019)
