What Women Want: Pentecostal Women Ministers Speak for Themselves - Paperback

by Kimberly Ervin Alexander (Author), James P. Bowers (Author), Estrelda Y. Alexander (Foreword by)

Pentecostal women ministers have been silenced in official conversations about their place in church leadership. What do women ministers believe about family life? Have they been influenced by liberal feminism? Do they really want to be equal ministry leaders with men? What Women Want answers these questions in a first ever empirical study that paints a portrait of what it's like to be a Pentecostal woman minister.
