"We are grateful that Ruth Barton has written this book. It will come as a gift to all who want to mine the richness of a community that values and honors the gifts of all God's people, male and female. It is a rare combination of theological acumen and sound practical wisdom. No lockouts allowed!"

"At a time when men and women often find themselves pulled apart, Ruth Barton argues that we have in fact been created to work together. Combining biblical truth and practical insight, she calls on us to move beyond debilitating stereotypes so that we might develop enriching communication skills and a genuine sense of teamwork. Much more than merely another manual for building mutuality in marriage, Equal to the Task helpfully tackles other crucial but often problematic dimensions of our life together as well, including male-female friendships and relationships in the marketplace."

"This is a very timely work that will become a classic resource for individuals, couples and congregations in quest of authenticity in relationships. . . . A must-read book in the hands of every thoughtful Christian."
