What's Coming in 2025

Almost exactly one year ago The Pentecostal Gender Paradox  was released. A lot has happened over the last year with the book, including:

1. Excerpts from each chapter released
2. A surprisingly well-attended and watched book launch
3. Features of the book in newspapers, magazines, blogs, leadership sites, and more
4. Solid sales that have led to the upcoming release of a paperback version
5. And of course plenty of blog posts engaging examples of the gender paradox in church life, including this popular post

But There's Much More to Come in 2025!

Such as . . .

1. The Aforementioned Release of an Affordable Paperback!

This will bring the cost of the book down significantly and make it more widely available to readers. The book will sell for about $35 USD or $50 CAD, or as low as $25 USD / $35 CAD for website readers if you pre-order here and use code GLR AQ4 (with space). A great use of that extra Christmas gift money or Amazon gift card you've received :)

The paperback is set for release in late May or early June.

2. A Forthcoming Review of the Book in Faith Today Magazine

Canada's main Christian magazine will have a review out later this year! Other possible reviews are also in the works.

3. A Book Panel Discussion at the Society for Pentecostal Studies conference in March

My book, along with Linda Ambrose's new book on Bernice Gerard, will be discussed by panelists Kimberly Alexander, Cheryl Johns, Susan Tam, and David Wells.

The panel is entitled:

“Faith and Feminism: Contradictory Convictions, Oxymoronic Opinions, and Paradoxical Practices in Pentecostalism.” A Book Panel Discussion of Linda Ambrose’s Pentecostal Preacher Woman: The Faith and Feminism of Bernice Gerard and Joseph Lee Dutko’s The Pentecostal Gender Paradox: Eschatology and the Search for Equality.

4. A Chapter in an Important New Book Out This Year

I'm pleased to announce my chapter “Going Mainstream(ing): Pentecostalism and the Gender Dimensions of Displacement” in the forthcoming Wipf & Stock book I Was a Stranger and You Took Me In: Pentecostal Responses to the Refugee Crisis, edited by Lois E. Olena.

More details to come once an official release date is announced. The chapter will also be available in some form for free download later in the year. Subscribe to my e-newsletter to get the latest updates.

5. Lastly, I hope to announce some other exciting news by the end of 2025!

I hope readers will enjoy it!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and thanks for reading and all your support in 2024. And please check back in 2025!
