 How
do you relate to the opposite sex in a working environment? The New
Testament treats Christian men and women as sacred siblings. Is that
relationship a reality in your ministry? What are the appropriate
bridges and fences? How can we learn to be “safe” in our dress, actions,
and communication? How do sacred siblings interact in personal
conversations, staff meetings, and professional development outings? In
Mixed Ministry, the male and female authors explore these complex and
thorny issues in depth, drawing on the thoughts, wisdom, and
perspectives of men like Howard Hendricks, John Ortberg, Dan Allender,
Frank James, Bill Hybels,
and many others. This neglected topic, when properly understood, has the
potential to revolutionize ministry.
When men and women catch this vision, the church will radically change,
ministering more effectively to the whole body of Christ.

“Mixed
Ministry is an important
book for anyone in church leadership to read. It offers
practical guidance, surprisingly refreshing examples, and great
discussion topics for people who are serious about serving the Lord
long-term.
Dr. Sarah Sumner,
Author, Men and Women in the
Church
“Sue, Kelley, and Henry have surfaced
a significant shortcoming that is often overlooked in most
organizations. Healthy partnerships between men and women co-workers
are critical to success, and this book definitely tackles the
subject head-on!”
Norm Miller,
Chairman of the Board, Interstate Battery System of America Dallas,
TX
“Here are answers—courageous,
biblical, and eminently practical solutions—to furtive questions
about improper relationships. A book begging to be written, this
realistic discussion invades our increasingly unmanageable
fantasyland where men-woman ministry teams often flirt with disaster
in disguise. Single or married, everyone who works with the opposite
sex needs to read and ponder this excellent heads-up manual on how
to stay out of sexual sinkholes.”
Howard G.
Hendricks, Chairman, Center for Christian Leadership Distinguished
Professor, Dallas Theological Seminary
