Women's Ministry in the Local Church by J. Ligon Duncan

An excellent resource for beginning or sustaining a women's ministry in the local church. A clear explanation for why one is needed in the church and how to think scripturally as we work with women's ministries the church. I always appreciate a book written where the word of God is the final authority for why we do things, and where ministries begin and are under the local church. I highly recommend this book.

Women's Ministry in the Local Church by J. Ligon Duncan

A great biblical look at how women's ministry should be conducted. A little PCA propaganda, but not so much that it is distracting. Great chapter on the call to disciple.

Does God Care How We Worship? by Ligon Duncan

Summary: Those who stand in the line of the Reformers must be committed to the supremacy of Scripture in all things, corporate worship in particular. Today, we see an abandonment of the Regulative Principle, often because evangelicals believe the Bible says little about corporate worship and therefore leaves us to our own choices. This is wrong. The Bible is full of instruction concerning proper worship from beginning to end.
