Lead Like the Real You: A powerful guide for women in leadership

In Lead Like the Real You, Amy Orr-Ewing offers 43 heartfelt letters filled with wisdom and encouragement for women in ministry. Rachel Bedford says these honest reflections and practical advice will empower women to embrace their God-given voice and lead with faith and courage

In Lead Like the Real You (Brazos Press), Amy Orr-Ewing masterfully crafts 43 letters to a fictional young woman named Jo, distilling profound wisdom from her years of ministry.

This book is unlike her previous titles, both in style and content. Orr-Ewing courageously admits “sharing this is not easy…and I have picked up some deep wounds along the way.” In articulating her pain, Orr-Ewing bravely explores challenges that many women throughout the Church will be able to relate to. Remarkably, given the seismic abuse of trust the author has navigated in recent years, the book remains hopeful, faith-filled and uplifting throughout. This is testament to the author’s steadfast faith - built upon years of diligent theological study, personal prayer and servant-hearted pastoring.

Amy Orr-Ewing is an in-demand, international speaker who has presented and debated the Christian faith in 40 countries for more than 25 years.  Every sentence written to Jo feels thoroughly considered and heartfelt, the mark of a book that has been in gestation for years, if not decades. As she looks to her future ministry, Orr-Ewing’s passion and sense of calling seem more alive than ever: “I pray I will be able to keep going until I die…”, which in itself is an encouragement for those wearied by church work.
