Thanks, Julie, for a good review of my book. You make a good point regarding "what now?" as some of those stories can really get you angry and in the "do justice" mode, especially if you've experienced anything similar. The Conclusion does have a few "what now?" suggestions. One is to access the resource, Christians for Biblical Equality (CBE) online at http://www.cbeinternational.org. They have a list of egalitarian churches. I also include a non-exhaustive list of denominations which have publicly made a commitment to empower by giftedness and not gender. As far as changing the "other" churches, I think what others have said (see the book review on http://www.barclaypress.com)about evangelical men being a key ingredient for change is right-on. Maybe my next book will be addressed to evangelical men, although men have found reading this one beneficial to understanding some of the things women go through in church. Thanks again for your review! (And, I like your website!)
