Women, Gifted to Lead ~ A Reading List

The books and websites on this list were recommended to me by women and men I respect. I haven’t read everything (yet!), but I’ve been working my way through the list. I’ve put an asterisk next to the ones I’ve read so far and recommend.

I’m grateful for these words, explanations, illustrations, and Scripture commentaries that are helping to articulate what I already believed in my bones to be

Quotes by Leslie Verner  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“In most communities, the ones who make a difference are not the ones who swoop in to save the day but the ones who stay.”
Leslie Verner, Invited: The Power of Hospitality in an Age of Loneliness

“We’re already cooking dinner, so why not invite someone to join us?”
Leslie Verner, Invited: The Power of Hospitality in an Age of Loneliness

“We seek a private house, a private means of transportation, a private garden, a private laundry, self-service stores, do-it-yourself skills of every kind. An enormous technology seems to have set itself the task of making it unnecessary for one human being ever to ask anything of another in the course of going about his or her daily business. Even within the family Americans are unique in their feeling that each member should have a separate room and even a separate telephone, television, and car, when economically possible. We seek more and more privacy, and feel more and more alienated and lonely when we get it.”
Leslie Verner, Invited: The Power of Hospitality in an Age of Loneliness
