Each of us, in our own shade of color, says something unique about who God is to the world around us. God didn't give specific colors to specific genders. It's one big color wheel, and gender isn't in the equation. How does our embracing our authentic color - unapologetically who we are - controlled by the Spirit, impact our view of women in conservative faith communities? Lime Green helps answer that questions. This a story about Jackie Roese, a clueless farm girl who stumbled into vocational Christian work. Jackie bumped into walls, crossed invisible lines, and ultimately reshaped her view of women-and her church's view, too. This book doesn't make the case for women to preach or lead in the church. Rather, it shares this is one woman's story of stumbling and bumping to reveal a way, a path with all its rocks, hills, and smooth road, to help others find their footing in reshaping the way we view women in the Church. Every follower of Christ is given gifts by the Holy Spirit for the building up of the church. And the same gifts are given to both men and women. Jackie Roese is a gifted leader and teacher who has an important story to tell about finding her gifts and using them for the building up of the body of Christ. In this book Jackie tells her story with characteristic courage and candor. It's an important story that will challenge and inspire anyone who reads it.

Sisterhood: From Alone to Known

The Marcella Project

Sometimes in our lives, rounds of difficulties come our way. They hit like a boxer's left hook, making our legs weak and eyes blurred. This is the world we live in - a place where there is beauty, majesty, love, color, pain, and loss. So how do we navigate those times when pain becomes so loud we can't hear anything else? The book of Ruth provides a window into the lives of two women who are dealing with some really, really hard things. But in the midst of their struggles, God is there; he's got them in his hands. It may be hard to see, but he's in process of caring for their needs and providing a hope and a future. Ruth teaches us the old, but very true axiom that "life is hard, but God is good."

Conservative evangelical women are least likely to be trained in the areas of teaching and preaching. It's a tragic state of affairs, given the central value that our tradition places on the Scriptures. In this book, Jackie Roese examines the forces, both past and present, that have discouraged women from becoming trained. We'll discover that women are indeed called, gifted, and mandated in Scripture to herald the Word of God. The first half of the book will focus on encouraging women to become as fully equipped as our male counterparts, and to use their uniquely female voice in proclaiming truth to other women in various settings outside pulpit preaching. But encouragement isn't enough. Many women who already teach Bible studies, or who desire to teach, are in no position to pursue formal studies in a seminary. To that end, the second half of She Can Teach is dedicated to developing homiletic skills. Together we will learn how to study a passage, find the main idea, and build and deliver a biblical message. By the end of this book, the reader will be better equipped to proclaim truth, through her uniquely female voice, to her female audience.

She Can Teach

Wipf & Stock Publishers

The authors take a fresh look at the gender debate in the church. Rather than roles, the authors examine the Scriptural emphasis on relationships, specifically brother-sister type relationships based on love, humility, and mutuality. Instead of defining structured roles for men and women as argued by complementarian or egalitarian positions, this "relationarian" approach can be lived out in the existing structures of any culture. Focusing on relationships can enable the church to move beyond the divisions of the gender debate. Rather than two camps, complementarian and egalitarian, we can be unified in one camp by focusing on the type of relations that are an attractive missional witnesses to the world.

I'm Enough is a "must read" for any woman wanting to better understand her role in our world as God sees it. Women are created by God as equal to men and charged with ruling over the earth side by side with them. However, multiple obstacles stand in the way of women arriving at their place within this division vision. Drawing on biblical texts, Jackie skillfully explains this truth in a personable, easy to understand manner.
