Equal to Serve by Gretchen Hull

Equal to Serve: Women and Men Working Together Revealing the Gospel

by Gretchen Gaebelein Hull

Because both men and women are called to be Christ's ambassadors, both are... Equal to Serve

What is the role of women in the Christian community today?

Summary

Gretchen Gaebelein Hull writes "... all believers are equally redeemed and therefore equally eligible to serve...." Providing evidence that women in the Old and New Testaments had a wide freedom of service, the author questions the traditions many Christians blindly accept today. This provocative, biblically faithful book invites you to consider the ramifications of mutual submission and sacrifice to God.

Praise

"We have been recommending Equal to Serve to people in leadership all over our nation... it meets a need in an intellectual, logical, and non-threatening manner without hostility. Gretchen Hull is rational and thorough in her convincing presentation."
—Jim and Sally Conway

"Equal to Serve is an honest and compelling presentation and a most timely subject for the church... a straightforward biblically based presentation of a God who transcends gender and elevates both men and women who are ready to follow Him."
—Robert A. Seiple, President, World Vision
