The young businesswoman needs input from the career woman on how to be a Christian in the marketplace.

Women are specifically designed by God to meet the needs of women, and helping them achieve that objective is one of the chief aims of Women's Ministry Handbook. Here is a resource full of both organizational and actual ministry tips, adaptable to churches of all sizes and denominations. Written for real women in the real world, it covers the waterfront of issues, from spiritual to relational. We all need personal acceptance; growth is hard without it.
