If God is calling women to lead, what's holding them back? Susan
Harris Howell has spent years helping students investigate this
question. In Buried Talents, she makes clear how gender disparity
in leadership is directly connected to a larger, less overt issue:
gendered socialization. Howell examines gendered messages people
encounter inside and outside the church in each stage of life,
showing how they often create misconceptions about who women are,
what they're capable of, and how they fit into God's work. As these
messages pull men toward leadership, they push women away from it.
God's call to leadership doesn't come in a vacuum. It comes to
particular people who have, from childhood through adulthood, been
shaped by subtle forms of socialization. Using social science
research and interviews to explain these forces, Howell offers
psychological and practical tools for both women and men to make
more balanced vocational decisions. A discussion guide and
suggested reading lists are also included to help readers engage
and apply the content. As opportunities for women continue to
expand, too many still hold back in responding to God's call.
Buried Talents provides compelling guidance for how we can remove
obstacles that keep women from fully using their gifts.
