Leaders in Heels

<p>In the twenty-first century the role of women in the Bible has been the subject of</p><p>books sermons podcasts and social media posts. Dr. Paul Cannings' latest book</p><p>Leaders in Heels highlights women who modeled abandon and devotion to God. For</p><p>that they found themselves in Scripture's divine spotlight.</p><p><br></p><p>Cannings sets the record straight on how women were foundational to the</p><p>forward progress of the Kingdom of God in the Old and New Testaments. Take</p><p>Bathsheba who educated and sat enthroned next to a king. Mary of Bethany</p><p>assembled with men and learned at the feet of Jesus leaving her sister to busy herself</p><p>with household affairs (for which the Lord commended Mary). </p><p><br></p><p>Mary Magdalene braved Golgotha and later trekked before sunrise to the tomb. She conversed with angels was the first to see and talk to the risen Christ ─ and was the first the Lord commissioned to proclaim news of His resurrection. Phoebe a courier for the Apostle Paul braved treacherous roads to deliver his letter to the Romans singular focus blaring.</p><p><br></p><p>Indeed as though aiming to shatter ancient stereotypes Jesus Christ elevated</p><p>the status of women during His earthly ministry. The time is now for Christendom to</p><p>understand and accept the high value the Lord places on women surrendered to Him.</p><p>This book is a must-read for all believers in Jesus Christ. Thus it is our prayer that</p><p>readers approach this book with an open mind ... and heart.</p><p><br></p><p>Mignette Y. Dorsey D.Min.</p><p>Editor</p>
