You feel it, deep in your bones: God is inviting you to join Him, to
participate in His redemptive work in the world. And yet, as a woman
leader, you face so many potential obstacles. Lack of clarity over your
unique calling. Competing time demands. Changing seasons of life.
Challenges such as self-doubt, criticism, and spiritual dryness. With
nearly 30 years of ministry experience, Angie Ward knows firsthand the
unique challenges that women leaders face as they seek to pursue their
calling.
In I Am a Leader, Angie explores the concept of “calling” as it applies specifically to women leaders—those women of influence both in Christian ministry and the broader world: What is calling? How do you discover it? And what does it look like to live out that calling practically amid a multitude of challenges?

ENDORSEMENTS:
Angie Ward’s book, I Am a Leader, is the last leadership book you need to buy―man or woman. Yes, this book is written specifically for women and is spot-on in addressing the critical issues women need to face when accepting and pursuing their call. But a lot of the principles and wisdom shared is valuable for men as well. The chapter on “Stages of a Woman’s Life” is masterful and really resonated with me as a developmental psychologist who counsels both women and men through the transitions in their lives. Ward doesn’t just show you the city on the hill as a woman leader―she gives directions. If you are a woman, this is a must-read for you to be unleashed as a leader. If you are a man, this book is a must-read to clear away the obstacles and champion the leader in the women the Lord has placed around you. -- Rodney L.
