A Woman Called: Piecing Together the Ministry Puzzle di Sara G. Barton
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I really enjoyed. I know I used to wonder why women could be missionaries and yet could not be pastors. Why not/? This book is enlightening on how they can be called to the ministry. Beautifully written too!
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I read Two Views on Women in Ministry (Counterpoints: Bible and Theology) and liked it but that is a much different book than this one. I love Barton's thought, Grace tastes so good. Instead of dissecting this issue theologically, we need to look at individual experiences in light of God's word.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I enjoyed the way the author brought out such a personal touch on such a touchy subject (in some churches). A very interesting book for others that struggle with what God is calling them to do. I appreciate the opportunity to read this and will share this with several women at my church who are struggling with God's call for them.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.Sarah Barton shares opening and honestly about her struggles to reconcile her "calling from God to the ministry" and the confines and constructs of her faith community where women are not to "preach." It is interesting to see her strong identification with her faith community as well as with the Ugandan people with whom she and her husband have served as missionaries for years.
She admits that she doesn't have all the pieces of the puzzle together yet, but she continues to walk in faith to work out her personal journey of ministry and finds fullfillment through teaching Bible courses at the collegiate level.
Good read for an inquiring soul.… (altro)
