Christian fiction, inspired by Judges 4 & 5. On his deathbed, Deborah's grandfather prophesied she would be a Judge for Israel. But the elders of Ramah vowed a woman would never sit in the city gates to listen to cases. So Deborah and her husband, Barak, returned to his hometown of Kedesh, in the northern part of the Israel, where trouble brewed nearby: King Jabin II had appointed Sisera to be commander of his army... and his nine-hundred iron chariots. Meanwhile, God brings disputes to Deborah for her to adjudicate, and soon she is holding court under the palm trees outside of Kedesh. Then God tells Deborah to hurry back to Ramah, and the family escapes just before Commander Sisera invades Israel and ransacks Kedesh. But Israel has no standing army to respond, and not a shield or a spear was seen among forty-thousand men. How will God use two such improbable people, a peasant woman and her husband, to lead Israel to victory against this formidable foe?

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.
