Description

Faith, Life and Leadership-Vol 2 : 8 Canadian Women Tell Their Stories is the follow-up volume to the very successful first book by the same title. This second group of eight successful, experienced, godly Canadian women, have been similarly assembled, and again each is a distinguished leader in her field. All have been willing to share the unique story that relates to the lessons they learned during their leadership journey. Their personal stories are told with utmost authenticity and integrity. Readers will be inspired, encouraged and edified to achieve great things for the Kingdom. The unique perspective of each models important and essential characteristics and practices that will help emerging leaders to prepare for the roadblocks and adversities that will undoubtedly present themselves on their own journey to becoming strong, Spirit-filled, leaders.
These stories will cover important themes such as:
• Understanding the Call of God
• Developing and Building Character
• Leadership Tests, Seasons and Processes
• Mentoring
• Strengthening Spiritual Disciplines
• Maturing Through Offences
• Living and Leaving a Legacy

“Each one of these unique, personal, and vulnerable stories points to a bigger story: God’s powerful story of calling, redemption, faithfulness, healing, provision, protection, and impact. You can’t help being encouraged.”
Dr. Steve Brown, president of Arrow Leadership, author of Leading Me: Eight Key Practices for a Christian Leader’s Most Important Assignment
“If you need a reminder that your life is a magnificent masterpiece in which God is carefully crafting out your victory, you will want to read every word in this book. These stories will inspire you to write your own greatest chapters!”
Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, broadcaster, writer, politician, wife, and mother
“The Holy Spirit in the Hebrew language is referred to with feminine pronouns. I love that! I also love how these beautifully written stories will inspire confidence in all leaders. Men, this book gives insight into those women we work with. Women, you will be pushed to look beyond obstacles, face internal barriers, and change the world by helping other women to do the same. Read this book and learn from some of the best.”
Rev. Dr. Carson Pue, executive mentor, author, speaker
“The inspiring stories of these women show how our God has his hand on our lives and is threading events, relationships, and opportunities into a beautiful handiwork for his glory and our good. Read and be encouraged.”
Marilyn Gladu, member of Parliament, Sarnia-Lambton
“It is a special honour to endorse this book and the eight women telling their stories. This book will capture your attention, and you will seek to read it cover to cover in one read and then again chapter by chapter. Each woman tells her story of how God ensured that she was uniquely formed, impacted, influenced, called, equipped, compelled, encouraged, and empowered to lead in a sphere or context that matched who she had become. In every story obedience led to delivering national or international leadership beyond each woman’s hopes, dreams, and anticipation. An awesome must-read for both women and men seeking to lead or already serving in leadership.”
Paul Magnus, PhD, president emeritus, distinguished chair, professor of leadership, coach, consultant and facilitator, Briercrest College and Seminary
“Leadership can be very lonely at the top. The lie is that we can lead without other women to walk with us. That’s why it’s essential for leaders to invite mentors to join in their leadership journey. With over thirty years of experience leading alongside my pastor-husband in my family unit in my home, my skills were honed further in church and corporate positions. I’ve discovered we are not meant to lead any group alone. If you are a woman who leads a type of grouping, no matter the size or kind, you will find Faith, Life and Leadership: 8 Canadian Women Tell Their Stories, Volume 2, to be a valuable tool. The stories are those of real women leaders who struggled, pushed through, and gained ground to attain goals and with God’s help strengthened and grew fruitful relationships within the groups they led. You don’t have to lead alone anymore. Pick up two copies of this book, one for you and another for ‘that other woman leader’ who looks like she’s got it all together. Invite her to coffee or tea and then share these stories of leadership as you share your own.”
Sheryl Giesbrecht Turner, ThD, founder of From Ashes to Beauty, Inc.
“We all need authentic righteous role models. The apostle Paul says, ‘Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ’ (1 Cor. 11:1). In Faith, Life and Leadership: 8 Canadian Women Tell Their Stories, Volume 2, I got to meet some remarkable Christ-loving role models. I say remarkable because the women candidly share their stories with perspectives, insights, and understanding that substantially testify to how they’ve pursued godliness in an ungodly world. If I were a younger woman looking to learn from the faith of older women (cf. Titus 2:3–5), this is one book I’d definitely read. But it’s not just a book for younger women. I’m a middle-aged man who thoroughly enjoyed the inspirational, easy-to-read, warm, relatable stories!”
Dr. Lawson Murray, president of Scripture Union Canada
“I learned something from Faith, Life & Leadership, Volume 1 : take time to listen with your eyes as each of eight ‘ordinary extraordinary’ women share their personal stories. Better prepared for Volume 2 , I made a coffee for each chapter and savoured these eight new autobiographies one day at a time. The stories feature ordinary women, none with secret identities or a cape hidden in the closet, living the realities of life with extraordinary contributions because of a common thread—the Holy Spirit, ‘the key to transformative and effective leadership development,’ as Marg Gibb says. God inspired these women to inspire us. Enjoy!”
Don Hutchinson, principal of Ansero Services, former interim national director with Canadian Bible Society, and VP and director, Centre for Faith and Public Life with The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada
“I was moved as I lived the stories with the authors—rejoicing in their victories, hurting with them in their challenges. Memorable quotes will stick with me: ‘Fear is a thief that robs us of opportunities,’ ‘Being always precedes doing,’ ‘When he calls, he equips,’ ‘Be unbending in the call ... be unashamed in your calling,’ ‘Lord, please let my life be lived, if not for income, then for outcome,’ ‘When you don’t fear death, you don’t fear life,’ ‘Leading is serving; serving is leading,’ and ‘Low ego/high trust.’ These are powerful statements by powerful women. They are all as tough as nails, but as tender as new shoots—tenacious, but tender-hearted, living out God’s call on their lives. Bravo!”
Honourable Deborah Grey, PC, OC, LLD
“Often in life, we see the success of others without knowing the process they have walked through to get to that point. In Faith, Life, and Leadership: 8 Canadian Women Tell Their Stories, Volume 2 , we get a behind-the-scenes look into the lives of eight women who have not only weathered the storms but have also come out with nuggets of wisdom to share with those still in the process of becoming. If you feel stuck in your life, this book has biblical truths, mentoring wisdom, and fresh revelation to help break you through into a new place of faith, life, and leadership.”
Saundra Dalton-Smith, MD, internal medicine physician and author of Sacred Rest
“Stories, more than instructional texts, have the power to connect not only with our intellect but with our heart and spirit. So it is with this inspiring book of sacred stories—the spiritual autobiographies of eight Canadian women of faith. What a fascinating group of women! Their backgrounds, life circumstances, gifts, and callings are diverse and utterly unique. What they share in common is deep faith, honest self-reflection, wise insight, and a hunger to be all that God intends for them. What makes this book compelling reading is to see and marvel at how God can take the raw materials of our lives—strengths, weaknesses, accomplishments, and failings—and fashion something beautiful and fruitful beyond our imagining.”
Janet Clark, PhD, senior VP Academic, Tyndale University College and Seminary
