Leaders in Heels - Hardcover

In the twenty-first century, the role of women in the Bible has been the subject of

books, sermons, podcasts, and social media posts. Dr. Paul Cannings' latest book,

Leaders in Heels, highlights women who modeled abandon and devotion to God. For

that, they found themselves in Scripture's divine spotlight.

Cannings sets the record straight on how women were foundational to the

forward progress of the Kingdom of God in the Old and New Testaments. Take

Bathsheba, who educated and sat enthroned next to a king. Mary of Bethany

assembled with men and learned at the feet of Jesus, leaving her sister to busy herself

with household affairs (for which the Lord commended Mary).

Mary Magdalene braved Golgotha and later trekked, before sunrise, to the tomb. She conversed with angels, was the first to see and talk to the risen Christ ─ and was the first the Lord commissioned to proclaim news of His resurrection. Phoebe, a courier for the Apostle Paul, braved treacherous roads to deliver his letter to the Romans, singular focus blaring.

Indeed, as though aiming to shatter ancient stereotypes, Jesus Christ elevated

the status of women during His earthly ministry. The time is now for Christendom to

understand and accept the high value the Lord places on women surrendered to Him.

This book is a must-read for all believers in Jesus Christ. Thus, it is our prayer that

readers approach this book with an open mind ... and heart.
