Beyond the Ballot

Description

There are more American women in the political arena today than ever before. Study this phenomenon Scripturally by looking at prominent women of the Bible whom God used to impact kings, kingdoms, and legislation. This study calls women to move beyond the ballot to effectively pray for their nation.

Beyond the Ballot is a culmination of Pam Russell’s years of immersing herself in God’s Word, as well as her experiences serving as a chaplain for the elected officials and staff in the Indiana State Capitol.

I appreciate how Pam skillfully uses Scripture to teach about Biblical female leaders and to guide the reader into an understanding of how she, too, can be a woman of spiritual influence. Even in my first reading of Beyond the Ballot, Pam’s writing and God’s Word challenged, encouraged, and convicted me.

Beyond the Ballot shows how God also calls women to ignite a Biblical transformation of their nation!

Pam Russell is a living example of women bringing transformation to capitols, and she has carefully studied godly women throughout the Bible and how they made a difference through strategic prayer and influence upon leaders. She points out the winsome way God strategically used women in the Bible to influence kings and kingdoms for His glory. This book is a must-read for women wanting to follow a Biblical model of influence through prayer and God-ordained action.

As women’s roles seem to be ever changing and increasingly demanding, it is comforting to know that God gives us many female role models in His Word, women who made a difference in their communities, women who impacted their world and influenced change.

Pam Russell’s study, Beyond the Ballot, shows us the impact we as women can have on our world and our leaders. Sometimes God called one specific woman to be the change maker. Many times, He called women to prayer. Pam’s study shows us that we, as women, can make a significant impact quietly, on our knees. Right now, in this present time, God is calling us as women to pray. As you delve into Pam’s study, I pray that you, too, will hear God’s Capitol Call to you.
