Finding Their Voices: Sermons by Women in the Churches of Christ - Paperback

by D'Esta Love (Editor)

Finding Their Voices is more than a book of sermons. It seeks to honor a generation of women who stand at the headwaters of a stream of change in Churches of Christ in regards to women in ministry. It records history in the making and preserves the words spoken by 29 women from pulpits across the U.S. and Canada. Not only does this book recognize the women who gave these sermons, it also recognizes the churches and institutions that welcomed them and provided space for their voices to be heard.
