"I love Jeanie’s common-sense conclusions. I love her call to be humble, holy, righteous, godly—and to live in harmony with one another, submitting to one another. I love her example." —Tammy Fleming, member of ICOC Teachers’ Service Team; Kiev, Ukraine

"Jeanie Shaw shares with her readers a stimulating study of the issues surrounding women and authority. Given the wealth of material in circulation, as well as the diversity of viewpoints, such a task requires great patience and careful study. Shaw’s study is not only thoughtful and well done—it’s nuanced and interesting. She is to be commended, and this volume welcomed." —Douglas Jacoby, teacher; author; Professor of Bible and Theology, Lincoln Christian University; member of ICOC Teachers’ Service Team; Atlanta, Georgia…

"With a gentle and respectful method (she is no iconoclast), reinforced by careful scholarship, Jeanie raises questions that need to be raised and points us in helpful directions. Without a hint of a rebellious or resentful spirit, she gives us some new perspectives that enable us to think in fresh ways about the role of women in the Body of Christ. Jeanie has written a courageous and timely book and we have much to gain by giving it prayerful consideration. I highly commend it." —Tom A. Jones, Nashville, Tennessee Author of numerous books, teacher, founder and former editor
