Who Says Women Can't Lead? is a thought-provoking and must-read study. James J Rondinone questions whether a woman might be called to any leadership position in the church, such as pastor-teacher, apostle, prophet, or evangelist. Besides uncovering truths, this book offers new interpretations that challenge the perspective that only men have been called to leadership positions in the church. The verses used here are primarily taken from the Gospels, the Book of Acts, and the Epistles. It discusses the concept that there are two ways to formulate a viewpoint on any biblical topic. It makes us aware of the qualifications, duties, and content of the teachings of a spirit-filled pastor. It answers important questions like, "Were women called to the office of judge, king, or prophet? Is the calling to any of the office gifts gender specific?" and more.

Who Says Women Can't Lead? has profoundly impacted how I view leadership positions in the church. I am delighted with James J Rondinone's answer to why women were not allowed to teach in the early church and the circumstantial and direct evidence he brings, which supports the assertion that a woman can be called to a leadership role in the church. This concise book touches on the verses many like to use to oppress women in both church and society. Rondinone talks about the two types of gifts, the five pieces of evidence that the Holy Spirit has control of your life, and the leadership positions of the Old Testament, such as judges, kings, and prophets. Any Christian and non-Christian interested in learning how one knows whether they are called to a position of leadership should read this resource-filled book.
