A Black Woman's Guide to Effective, Barrier-Breaking Leadership
Black women in leadership positions often experience resistance,
both from external forces and from within. If you are a leader in
your profession, community, or church, you may have been made to
feel like an outsider--someone who must prove herself again and
again to be worthy of following. Maybe you're tired, resentful, or
beaten-down by the sense that you'll just never be good enough for
some people. Take heart and take a seat at the table with Jeanne
Porter King. Drawing from the biblical account of the Samaritan
woman at the well, King shows how this outsider and outcast has
been reduced to a stereotype by the same racist and sexist forces
that attempt to reduce you to a stereotype and hinder your
God-given call to leadership. She then shows how God uniquely
positioned and equipped her to lead her people to the truth despite
attempts to keep her silent and small. If you long to lead from a
strong spiritual core rather than a set of expectations you had no
part in setting, this book offers you the inspiration,
encouragement, and practical tools to make leading well a reality
in your life.
Imagine what ministry in your church would look like if every
member was serving in some way. Now imagine how effective your
ministry would be if everyone served with a leader's mind-set. In
Building a Church Full of Leaders, Dr. Jeanne Porter King sets out
to help pastors and ministry leaders move from using traditional
methods of moving people from the pews to service, to developing
strategic and transformative systems for organizing ministry,
recruitment, training, and ongoing development that aim to help
church members see themselves not just as volunteers but as
servants and co-laborers of ministry. Filled with both practical
and spiritual tools for developing an effective leadership model,
Building a Church Full of Leaders will help you transform the way
you shape and deliver ministry at your church-as well as the ones
who deliver it.
