In talking with women around the country, Jim Henderson has come to believe that there is an epidemic of quiet, even sad resignation among dedicated Christian women who are feeling overworked and undervalued in the church. As a result, many women are discouraged. Some, particularly young women, respond by leaving the organized church . . . or walking away from the faith altogether.

Containing personal interviews with women and new research from George Barna, The Resignation of Eve is a field report on what women have to say about how they’ve been affected by their experiences within the church. It is crucially important because, across the board, the research shows that women are driving changes in the church . . . so what will happen if they resign?

Inviting women to speak for themselves, The Resignation of Eve is a must-read, life-changing book for women who have been engaged in the Christian church as well as their pastors and ministry leaders.

ENDORSEMENTS

In The Resignation of Eve, Jim Henderson follows Christ in the revolutionary act of listening to women. That this is revolutionary already tells us much. Jim asks questions with a disarming frankness and if we, too, listen to these women with an open mind, their stories will tell us so much more—not least the fact that it's probably later than we think.
