Book Review: I have rarely had such an astonishing experience as encountering Gwen Adams’ “Crazy Church Ladies” when she asked me to do some trainings with them. Now the entrancing story is in a book. It is a MUST READ, not just for the soul-wrenching, spirit-enriching stories, but also to envision the difference a group of committed, unified women can have in a community. These crazy ladies were transformed as they transformed the sex business in their town. Beyond all that, Crazy Church Ladies will challenge everyone’s philosophy of what the church is and can do. “Take and Read.”

Crazy Church Ladies Endorsements
Gwen Adams and her Crazy Church Ladies are anything but crazy. Adams’ bold journey into a powerful spiritual awakening proved contagious and catapulted countless church ladies into a revolutionary ministry beyond church walls. She couldn’t ignore her discontent and exhaustion with a program-driven women’s ministry, the pushback she regularly faced as a female leader, and the fact that her church ladies’ ministry was falling short of addressing prevailing deeper needs. Readers will resonate with the honest foundational questions she was asking—about church, the gospel, being a woman, the stubborn love of Jesus, and wider ministry opportunities. Her search for answers compelled her to turn her back on a coveted pastoral women’s ministry career to launch Priceless—a remarkable nonprofit anti-sex-trafficking initiative to love, emancipate, and mentor women out of sex trafficking. This is game-changing book, one I pray many women and men alike will read. May this radical craziness spread!

This incredible book charts the awakening of everyday women transformed by an extraordinary God, and their impact on the most broken, most forgotten parts of their community. Their compelling story is a living reminder that God not only made us for more, but that he is able to do more than any of us could ask for or imagine. Take this book and share it with your friends, your small groups, your teams, and your church. Your call may be different, but these ladies have so much to teach us. Let it inspire you and ignite you to run with love, courage, and sacrifice into your community.

Crazy Church Ladies will capture your eye as a book title, but its contents will resonate with your own heart if you’ve ever sat in church or left a church yearning for more—yearning, frankly, to know what it is to live fully alive, actively participating with our God’s rescue plan for you and all of creation. I personally know these “crazy church ladies” and I’ve seen firsthand what a huge force for good and change they have become in our state. You would be hard-pressed to find more passionate, more fearless, yet more loving people who care for those “in the margins”—the victims and survivors of sex trafficking. Come on this journey through the lens of some “Crazy Church Ladies” and discover more about who you were made to be.
