Equipping women to serve

UNCONVENTIONAL:
A practical guide to women’s ministry
in the local church
By Sharon Dickens
10Publishing. 224 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978 1 914 966 750

Unconventional is a provocative title for this down-to-earth guide to women’s ministry in the local church.

Unlike other books that tackle this subject, Dickens does not seek to plumb the depths of theological reasoning or argue a case for complementarianism; she treats these as given. Instead, she describes the nitty-gritty of getting on with discipling and equipping women. She draws on her experience of working in a ‘poor and deprived area’ where she had the task of starting and developing a ministry for women in the local church.
