Almost every year I get to meet with a small group of key leaders of all ages in a 3-day discussion on issues women face today and how the church can minister to women effectively. One of the things we like to do is share books and blogs we’ve read over the past year that have been helpful. I wanted to share that list with you today. I haven’t read all these, but I wanted you to see what other leaders have been reading.
Some of these are marked with specific topics, for others you will see the title and the author. I pray these are helpful as you continue to develop as a Christ follower who is also a servant for His glory.
