Publisher's Synopsis
Licensed and ordained to the Gospel Ministry in 1982 and 1985, respectively, Dr. Manning-Fontaine (no "Janie come lately"), is one of those women known as pioneers or trail blazers who has "borne the burden and the heat of the day." Content to let others shine, after 30 Years of Preaching and 18 years of Pastoring, she has finally stepped to the forefront to share some insights of varying form that found their way into her ministry throughout the years. She has quietly mentored others who are now Senior Pastors in their own right and follow her legacy of equipping the Saints to do the work of the ministry. Ask her who she is and she will tell you without hesitation or reservation, "I am an Ephesians 4 Pastor." This little book is not just another volume about male bashing and glazing at glass ceilings; but includes thoughtful assumptions gleaned from her study of scripture and theological mentors that drop nuggets all around for those who dare to pick them up, male or female, lay or Clergy. It makes you wish she had told the "whole story" about her story of survival as you read between the lines.
