ABOUT THE book
More Info
As the title suggests, the book delves into the defition of success particularly public success and how this secular definition is often so radically divergent from God's concept of success, as depicted in the Bible.
To counterbalance these two different definitions, the book defines the concept of struggle and all it entails. This book also explores our private human struggles, those peculiar to female ministers, given Dionne's experience in this field. The difficulties women encounter within leadership roles will be presented and examined, with a specific focus on gender, sexuality, the pressure to maintain femininity while being true to the call of God on their lives, or true to integrity of the secular vocation.
Sensitive topics such as sexism within the modern church will also be explored, as well as some practical guidelines that address methods of coping with gynaecological and other health problems specific to women. Whereas adult women will be more able to easily identify with some of the issues raised, everyone in leadership will benefit from the information presented. Men, especially those in positions of leadership, will receive insight into and an understanding of the challenges faced by women in leadership, particularly women in ministry.
