"I became painfully aware of how important Worthy by Elyse Fitzpatrick and Eric Schumacher was as I read it, because this biblically insightful book reminded me once again of my own sins and devaluing of women in my own life. I am a Christian man and pastor with a regrettable history of objectifying, demeaning, and devaluing women in my life and in the church. This book is needed because there are others like me who need a loving rebuke from trusted authors who have lived this same struggle in their own life and walked with others who have done the same. Every pastor needs to read this book to help expose the way we often devalue women in the church and don't realize it. Women need to read this book so they can truly know the way God values them, as well as women throughout redemptive history, and how God intends for them to flourish in the local church today. I heartily commend it." Brian Croft, senior pastor, Auburndale Baptist Church; founder, Practical Shepherding; senior fellow, Mathena Center for Church Revitalization, SBTS
