Consider a Greater Purpose

Consider a Greater Purpose draws on the biblical stories of Queen Vashti and Queen Esther alongside the lives of Eleanor Roosevelt, Corrie ten Boom, and Rosa Parks to explore what it means for women to recognize and respond to God's calling in their own lives. Denise Posie brings decades of pastoral experience in the Christian Reformed Church to the writing, and that grounding shows — this is not abstract theology but pastoral encouragement rooted in ministry and leadership. The strength is the parallel structure: biblical narrative and historical women's stories illuminate each other rather than competing. The honest caveat is that the book is designed for an explicitly Christian women's audience, making it a natural fit for Bible study groups and women's ministry but limited outside those contexts. For that audience, it is a meaningful and well-grounded resource.
