Tackle the enduring issue of sexism within the church.

Heather Matthews takes an honest and hopeful look at the ways women continue to be marginalized in many church communities today.

Drawing on her own experiences and extensive research, she explores the historical roots of sexism and how it persists in contemporary church settings.

This book provides practical steps for church leaders and members who are committed to creating a more inclusive and equitable environment.

By addressing both subtle and overt forms of sexism, Matthews offers a path forward for churches to truly live out the gospel’s call to justice and equality.

This is an essential read for anyone looking to understand and dismantle the barriers women face in their faith communities.

“This book promises to be a valuable resource for evangelicals addressing gender inequality in their communities. Matthews offers a helpful synthesis of recent scholarship and events, issuing a gentle but fervent call for better theology and practice in a tradition she loves.” Lisa Weaver Swartz, assistant professor of sociology at Asbury University and author of Stained Glass Ceilings: How Evangelicals Do Gender and Practice Power
