What Women Know About Jesus
The Church feels a desperate need for human-scale leadership and ministry models that work in the way of the Kingdom. But where will we find leaders who have gifts for collaboration and relationship building, who are unafraid of mess and mystery? What if the women among us privately have these capacities but haven’t felt safe to share them? This book calls women to risk bringing those Kingdom capacities into public spaces, for the sake of the world and the church.
"No kidding: If I could make one new book magically appear on the bedside table of every minister, priest, deacon and elder in North America, The Vulnerable Pastor would be it. Mandy Smith's wise and hopeful book is timely, a much-needed antidote to the influence of macho leadership run amok, which has wrecked so many pastors and churches. It is also timeless, an important reminder that God's power is made perfect in weakness. If you are a pastor, please read this book; if you have a pastor, please read it with them.”
– John Pattison, coauthor of Slow Church: Cultivating Community in the Patient Way of Jesus
