What's New on the Website Check out the following materials put up within the last couple of years! 5/09 Identifying Verbal and Emotional Abuse and Grounds for Divorce. Desiring to offer hope and healing to the abused, we introduce several new resources on abuse created by women who have personally been through the valley. They understand this topic intimately and have recovered strong voices to enlighten and equip others. 4/09 The Spring 2009 GWTW Newsletter contains the following new articles:
4/09 “Journey’s End", by Kathryn J. Riss, is more than a narrow focus on a few verses. It applies the entire sweep of Scripture to illuminate passages that have puzzled Christians for generations. These passages have too often been misused to hurt women which God never intended. Let Journey’s End answer your questions and settle your heart! Kathryn J. Riss (M. Div., Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; Th. M., Princeton Theological Seminary) was ordained a pastor in 1992 with her husband, church historian, Richard M. Riss. A gifted preacher, she serves on the FISH Hospitality Program Board and as CORE coordinator for United Protestant Marriage Encounter, New Jersey. Click here to read an excerpt from Chapter 7 of Riss' Journey’s End, Removing “Biblical” Barriers Between Women and their Destiny 1/09 Scott Womble of Saint Louis Christian College has written a powerful book that will surely answer the “woman question” for you in 95 different ways. Chapter 5 will give you an idea of what the book is all about. Click here. For instance, “Male leadership often uses the ‘headship’ argument, which essentially says that if they give a woman permission to speak, teach, etc., then she can do so under their authority. The problem with a move such as this is that it places man as an authority over the Word of God. In other words, although a complementarian may be firmly convinced that the Word of God prohibits women from teaching and leading in the church, if he decides that an exceptional woman may do so, it instantly becomes permissible. The church must be watchful of people who place themselves over the authority of Scripture.” That’s good advice as is the entire 491 page book which sells for $19.99 plus shipping and handling. You may order directly from Scott Womble: tscottwomble@sbcglobal.net. 1/09 The Winter 2009 GWTW Newsletter addresses the issue of Marriage and Cultural Foundations in new articles by Barbara Collins and Gay Anderson.

None of us are “for sale.” All money you give will not be “held up” for administrative fees but will go directly to the ministry for which you gave it. Presently, we have proven contacts in the nations of Kenya, Nigeria, and Pakistan. In all these nations, women are mistreated, not only by the governments, but many times that prejudice shows through the Christian church. Won't you give to this Missions ministry of GWTW? You can do so on the lower-right-hand-side of the home page 9/08 Dr. Carrie R. Miles has recently written a guide which substitutes for the present one "Male and Female in Christ," which we have on the website and intend to keep.
