Discover how women's ordinary gifts bring extraordinary life to the church.

What if the very qualities women have been taught to keep private are the qualities the church needs most? In What Women Know about Jesus, pastor and author Mandy Smith offers a compelling vision of how women's lived experience—their attentiveness to bodies and emotions, capacity for relationship, familiarity with suffering, patience, limitation, and mystery—can become a powerful witness to the Kingdom of God.

Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, decades of ministry, and the lives of women who followed Jesus, this book invites readers to see ordinary human experiences through a new lens. Women often carry wisdom forged in the realities of embodiment, caregiving, motherhood, grief, joy, community, and daily faithfulness. Yet many have learned to view these experiences as merely personal rather than profoundly spiritual. This book helps readers discover how God works through these ordinary realities of biblical womanhood to reveal the Kingdom, renew communities, and invite all people into a more human, Christlike way of living.

In this book that's equal parts evocative storytelling and grounded theology, readers will discover:

• How women's experiences of embodiment, emotion, caregiving, suffering, and community-building can reveal profound truths about the Kingdom of God and spiritual growth
• Why feminine qualities often dismissed as weakness—such as vulnerability, tenderness, patience, openness, and dependence—may actually be essential strengths for spiritual formation and faithful witness
• Fresh insights into the women of Scripture and what they uniquely understood about Jesus, discipleship, suffering, hope, and the work of God in the world

What Women Know about Jesus is a hopeful invitation to trust that the qualities you thought were too small, too soft, or too ordinary may be among the most powerful ways God reveals his presence and transforms the world.
