"In Women Rising, Meghan Tschanz invites us to listen to the voices of women. Listening can lead to compassion, repentance, advocacy, and justice. Listening opens our hearts and minds to the extreme oppression and injustice many women face, all over the globe. Tschanz's book is a clarion call to respond to gender inequality and join with women in their dignity and empowerment worldwide. Books like this change lives and can transform the world."

"In this vulnerable, engaging account of facing confusing and constricting gender roles in the church, Tschanz shows that patriarchy is not part of the world God created but is a result of sin and domination. She calls Christians to imagine a world as God meant it to be: all God's daughters being liberated to lead, serve, and stand up for truth and justice. If you've ever wondered if God has good news for women, this book is for you."

"With great heart and fierce determination, Meghan Tschanz confronts the stark realities of gender injustice around the world as she comes to terms with her own experiences of abuse within and beyond the church walls. Women Rising details the necessary and painful journey of sacred questioning and rediscovery that ultimately leads to Tschanz's spiritual liberation. Through her vulnerability and truth telling, Tschanz reveals the ways God works through the unexpected to heal us and transform our lives and our faith."

"From discussing human trafficking and white-saviorism to unpacking gender roles within the evangelical church, Women Rising covers a number of issues that deserve our full attention. Meghan Tschanz shares her powerful life experiences around these topics with a vulnerability that invites and challenges us all to reflect on our own experiences and beliefs about gender. She shows how rigid and restrictive gender roles for both women and men can lead to a diminishing of one's self as well as contribute to the dehumanization of others. Meghan is well aware of the potential controversies when discussing gender, particularly within Christian contexts, yet bravely uses her voice and her stories of the women she has met to constructively engage others in these conversations, leaving it up to us whether we will listen."

"Women Rising is a powerful book that calls for all women to be treated with dignity and respect. Meghan shares her story with authenticity and draws us all into why we must value women and uplift their voices. She also challenges what has been the standard and what needs to change. She speaks the truth many are longing to hear."

"Meghan Tschanz is a powerful voice for women and a strong advocate for the marginalized and oppressed. Her book, Women Rising, not only empowers women to be and do anything God has created them to, but also describes what it looks like to be a Christ follower and a feminist. Meghan beautifully shares her stories and the testimonies of others that expose everyday sexism and the lies we women are told about our roles as women in such a way that you feel like you are sitting at a table with her, sipping coffee. She shows women how strong and capable we are and how God has no limit to the extent in which he can and will use women for the kingdom—whether we are preaching a sermon in a church or coleading our families with our spouse. Meghan is a rare gem and a woman who carries a strong anointing for leadership and teaching."

"This book should be required reading for Christians. For every girl and woman who has been made to feel small, demeaned, violated, and confused, and for every man who has bought into the lie of female subordination and missed out on all that half the church has to offer, Meghan's words speak freedom and hope for a better way."

"In writing this visceral and instinctive critique of gender essentialism, Meghan Tschanz weaves her own abuse beside that suffered by the women she served globally. In searching for root causes, one answer rises supreme—women's inequality reinforced by male-only leadership propaganda that scrutinizes women's lives but leaves men's behavior unchecked. In this way patriarchy flourishes with impunity. Women Rising is a call to action for the world's women."

"Women Rising traces one woman's transformation from youthful evangelical missionary to Christian feminist. It's a bumpy ride that spans continents. Readers who are reshaping their beliefs about the role and worth of women will find plenty of fuel for their journey. They may even find themselves emerging from these pages, as the author does, with a woman-centric lens."

"One of the many strengths in this book and what makes it so important and distinct is that Meghan doesn't just present the issues. She drills deeper to explore how the church's gender theology is part of the problem and needs to be reexamined against the wide-angle global perspective. . . . The Bible's message for women is global, and it is good news for every woman and girl. No woman or girl gets left behind."
