Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church by Nijay K. Gupta (Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 2023). Imagine my surprise when preaching on Mary (Jesus’ mother), or Tabitha, or the importance of the presence of women in the Acts 1:14 prayer sessions, and then being told by those listening that they had never heard any sermons on these women before!
