“Leadership knows no gender. The Lord Jesus calls and equips women for ministry leadership in his church. How, then, should they lead? Emily Dean answers that question skillfully, writing from a place of biblical wisdom and personal experience. I was instructed, humbled, encouraged, and equipped by Women Leading Well. A valuable go-to resource for leadership training, and one that I’ll be using and recommending to others.”

“Emily Dean brings out treasures both old and new in this work. Women Leading Well first unfolds the necessary doctrines of universal priesthood, ministerial calling, and spiritual gifts through careful theological exegesis of Scripture. But the most enlightening part of this fine guidebook appears with her wise practical advice. Our Lord’s churches will thrive for God’s glory as they learn to encourage their leadership.”
