Publisher's Synopsis
A new spiritual awakening is sweeping the entire world, one in which God is liberating women to release their Divinely-ordained roles in Christian ministry. This awakening, reflecting God's original design from the first days of Creation, is also a key element of Jesus' Full Gospel of the Kingdom of God. Accordingly, it is in the process of eclipsing the impact of every prior awakening and reformation in Church history. Given the global scope of its features, it is virtually certain to dramatically and positively impact the lives of every Christian living on Planet Earth. Jesus said He came to provide freedom to those held captive. Among those prisoners are the hundreds of millions of Christian women whose devoted service to God has been restricted by centuries of unwarranted sexism and gender bias. This sexism has been systemically institutionalized within Jesus' Church for most of its history, even if based on well-intentioned, if mistaken, interpretations. The Church, and every member of it, as well as countless lost souls, have therefore been unnecessarily denied every related ministry benefit. In opposition to this pervasive sexism, this book interprets the entire Bible, and Jesus' eternal Gospel which it proclaims, to reveal that God has not imposed any such gender-based restrictions on women in Christian ministry. Its compelling re-evaluations of every relevant Biblical passage reveal that God's eternal intention is for women to minister alongside men as their equals in every available office and role. This book intends to not only acquaint the Church with the existence of this awakening and to justify it, but also to encourage the Church to embrace it, participate in it, and to actively promote it.
