Sarah Sentilles enters the lives of female ministers--women of various ages and races, in a range of churches--to paint the first real portrait of what it's like to serve as a woman of faith today.Sometimes triumphant, sometimes hilarious, sometimes painful, their stories take us from their calls to the pulpit through their ordinations and service in congregations. These women show us how the church can be more welcoming to the women who are its lifeblood. And in their inspiring determination to perform the ministry to which they are called, no matter what the obstacles, we might well see the future of the church itself.
