Weems has created a milestone in women's literature, a book that sheds light on the relationships of biblical women in new and meaningful ways that connect women across class, culture, race and time.

Preach, My Sister, Preach is a biblical study about what God has to say about women in the Gospel ministrynot about the opinions of men, women, denominations, theologians, religious associations, and other critics and pundits. For the first time, someone has taken on the issue of women in the pulpits and the Christian ministry and has given a bulletproof defense for supporting women in ministry. Preach, My Sister, Preach examines the Holy Scriptures from the origin of Genesis through the end of Revelation and proves that God promotes women in ministry, Jesus endorses women in ministry, and the Holy Spirit empowers women in ministry for the kingdom of God.

Girl, Preach: A Woman’s Call to Kingdom Purpose challenges women who feel called to minister to recognize their calling with boldness. It’s time that we see their role in ministry as not simply appropriate, but vital. Teresa Lusk’s writing reinforces women’s value in the church, despite traditions of man that have limited their leadership role. Using personal anecdotes, Christian history, and the examples of faith-filled women in the Word of God, Teresa inspires the female reader. She fervently believes that the same Lord who equipped her to preach the gospel is the same Lord who works to heal, prophesy, and cast out demons. God wants to do these things not only through men but through women as well. Girl, Preach! is a call for women to stand and be a voice, a leader, and a trailblazer. Teresa’s book is a must-read for daughters of the faith ready to experience healing, deliverance, and enter into their Kingdom purpose with confidence!

Many of us have big questions about God that the Christian faith seems to leave unanswered. But what if that tension is exactly where faith comes alive? Paradoxology boldly claims that the paradoxes that seem to undermine belief are actually the heart of our vibrant faith, and it is only by continually wrestling with them that God is most clearly revealed.
