Anna Morgan's own experiences in pastoral ministry leadership launched her search for a holistic way to grow the skills, influence, and authority of women who are gifted and called as leaders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides a positive, comprehensive, research-based model for developing women in church and ministry leadership. Morgan identifies seven aspects of leadership development that form a woman over her lifetime. Three work inwardly as a woman grows in leadership: spiritual calling, giftedness, and emotional intelligence. Four work externally to shape her authority and influence: home life supports, ministry leadership contexts, leadership relationships, and communication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGrowing Women in Ministry\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new way to understand how women leaders are formed and how they rise to become influential leaders in positions of authority in churches and ministries. It is written in a clear, accessible style for both female ministry leaders and men seeking to promote female leaders. It includes policy suggestions, strategies, values for ideal growing conditions, and discussion questions, making it an ideal resource for ministry, practical theology, and leadership courses, church and parachurch leaders, and pastors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A must-read for both men and woman who care deeply about developing women as leaders\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eGrowing Women in Ministry\u003c\/i\u003e, Anna Morgan helps readers develop women leaders in local church or ministry contexts.
