If you've felt the nudge and heard the call to start ministering to women in your community and church -- click on the apporpriate buttons and buy this book. Through candid, practical chapters Briscoe and company lead you through the nuts and bolts of building an effective ministry. The glue, of course, that holds it all together is prayer and the authors leave no doubt that they put their ministry in the hands of the Lord. If you're looking for a straight forward aid to designing ministries that are people centered (not program centered) and meet the needs of contemporary women -- both within and outside the local church, this is the book for you. Enjoy!

I really enjoy books by Jill Briscoe. She is very gifted and has a lot of practical advice. My big problem with this book is that it is geared towards large churches. As Women's Ministry Leader in a church of 250, I found that this book offered little to help me. Not all churches have thousands of people attending!

I was the women ministry leader of my church back in 2000. Trying to find out ways to improve the existing ministry at that time; I ran into this resource book. The book was well organized and provided much information to lead a women ministry in any size. I still read it every once in a while. If you are priviledged to lead a women ministry, this book is a prayer-answered.

Great book. I'm new president for WINGS and this has been very benefical for purpose of my office. If leadership is what you are in charge of, read this book and you'll be able to get the most out of productivity for the women in your group.
