Miriam's Sisters, Deborah's Daughters explores a fresh approach to leading the church through its current times of change. Most books on church leadership are written by men and focus on formulae and strategy, but this examines how different times demand a different kind of leadership, involving imagination and creativity – gifts and qualities exhibited by numerous women in scripture. It reflects on the experiences of various women including Miriam, Deborah, Esther, Ruth, Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary of Bethany and the woman at the well, and finds inspiration and guidance for today in their practices of accompaniment, accountability, spirituality, communal discernment, provision and creativity. Drawing further on insights from feminist theology, and extensively tried and tested in contexts of parish ministry, health care chaplaincy, pioneering and renewal, Liz Crumlish offers realistic, sustaining and encouraging insights for church leaders.

She sat motionless, concerned lest she disturb the sacred air around her, that HE might leave. However, when morning thrust its rosy fingers through the window, His presence was gone. Still, the imprint of the previous night was firmly embedded in her being. From that moment she knew. Despite the fact that He was ultimately powerful and all-loving, change was coming bringing with it pain and death.
