From the Back Cover

Mothers and grandmothers. Students and singles. Stay-at-home moms and working moms. How can your women’s ministry become a celebration of the church’s uniqueness rather than a conflict of interests?

New Doors in Ministry to Women presents a life-changing strategy that adapts to the unique circumstances of various ministries. This strategy, the Transformation Model, provides direction for building a ministry team, creating dynamic Bible studies, and preparing for and surviving conflicts. By building a women’s ministry around the understanding of biblical truth, this new model helps deepen women’s relationships with God and then with others.

“This book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in women’s ministries. . . . [It is] an essential ministry tool for communicating the Word of God and building life-sustaining relationships.”

—Vickie Kraft
Author of Women Mentoring Women and founder of Titus 2:4 Ministries, Inc.

“Out of their wealth of experience and solid theological training, [the authors] have presented an incredibly practical, strikingly comprehensive, fascinating . . . handbook on ministering to women in a variety of contemporary settings.”

—Dave Cotten
Professor Emeritus of Pastoral Ministry, Dallas Theological Seminary
Pastor of Senior Adult Ministries, Faith Bible Church, Edmond, Oklahoma

Sue Edwards (M.A. Dallas Theological Seminary) and Kelley Mathews (Th.M. Dallas Theological Seminary) are a perfect team to collaborate on this book. Sue is a modern woman with twenty-five years experience while Kelley is postmodern, just beginning to oversee the women’s ministry at her church. Sue ministers in a large church; Kelly in a small church. Sue is a new grandmother and Kelley is a new mom. Although they enjoy different life stages, they share the same passion: to see women won, grown, and unleashed for God’s glory. Both live in Dallas, Texas—Sue with her husband, David, and Kelley with her husband, John, and toddler son, Nate.

This book arrived in great shape and in a timely manner. It offers many great ideas for how to organize women's ministry in a way that appeals to a broad age group, bridgeing the gap between the modern and post modern woman. I found it to be very helpful and eye opening.

I read a lot of books on women's ministry. This is well worth the purchase. The authors include a good history of women in the church and discuss how to relate to the post-modern woman. There is very helpful material on team buiding, Bible studies and events. I chose this book for our entire women's ministry team to read and discuss over the coming year.
