God's Yes to Women: Why the Bible's Vision of Partnership Is Good News for Us All

Is the message of the Bible good news for women? Does God say "no" to women who desire to use their gifts to serve the church? What is the Bible's vision of true partnership between men and women? This book is about the profound, wonderful news that followers of Jesus are one in Christ, in their difference as women and men. It outlines the biblical pattern of serving together, without hierarchy or exclusion, for the good of God’s people. The message of the Bible is good news for women, good news for the church, and ultimately good news for all.
