In this highly-anticipated rerelease, Fran Jones revisits the most trying aspects of her life's journey and invites readers to reflect on the painful experiences that shaped her deaconess ministry. She draws on these experiences to demonstrate the imperativeness of meeting the needs of today's women in insightful, practical, spiritual, and professional ways. Now with book and workbook under one cover, she aims to equip deaconesses for work in the pews and in their communities.
