Genderstanding Leadership: Power to the Pew! questions the gender gap between Christian ideology and practice. It challenges women to move beyond the Pew to retrieve and preserve the dignity of women and the security of women and children that are Divinely intended. The book makes a troubling link between religion and gender-based violence, warns that the way in which women allow themselves to be treated in the Church (based on stubborn misinterpretations of sacred texts) has a direct outcome on the plight of women in the world. The author spurs Christian women to spirit-filled, strategic action for greater and more purposeful gender equality in religious institutions.
