How it's being used, what's being said, and upcoming events:
The Pentecostal Gender Paradox continues to receive attention in a variety of contexts.
Here's just 5 recent ways The Gender Paradox is in the news and making an impact:
1) Featured in the local newspaper where I pastor
2) Being taught and used at a Seminary in Ontario

3) One of many social media posts about the book
4) I've been invited to speak on the book's subject at a leadership conference in Saskatoon in October
More details TBA.
5) Lastly, due to solid sales of the book, the publisher has announced a paperback version will be released in May 2025!
But remember there are several ways to order the hardback at discounted prices.
