From the acclaimed author of "Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I've Loved," comes a captivating exploration into the world of Christian women celebrities. Since the 1970s, a significant emergence has taken place within American evangelicalism, featuring the prominent figure of the celebrity preacher's wife. While most evangelical traditions restrict women from ordained ministry, a remarkable number of women have established unofficial positions of power within their husbands' spiritual empires or their own ministries. The most renowned figures, including Beth Moore, Joyce Meyer, and Victoria Osteen, have achieved remarkable success by writing bestselling books, securing high ratings on Christian television, and even delivering sermons. In this insightful and empathetic book, Kate Bowler delves into the lives of these megachurch women celebrities, shedding light on the challenges they face in navigating the demands of celebrity culture while adhering to conservative, male-dominated faiths.
