A Woman's Place

A serious look at the changing relationship
between the Adventist Church and its female members
from the time of its founding to the present.

Are we making progress? How are things changing? How can we help ourselves and each other experience greater fulfillment in our lives and service to God? The authors believe that only as we carefully examine the issues and options regarding the role and status of women can we effect change where change is needed.

It will challenge you to a fuller realization of your potential to greater self-understanding to wider aspects of personal growth and to deeper fulfillment through service.
