Each of us, in our own shade of color, says something unique about who God is to the world around us. God didn't give specific colors to specific genders. It's one big color wheel, and gender isn't in the equation. How does our embracing our authentic color - unapologetically who we are - controlled by the Spirit, impact our view of women in conservative faith communities? Lime Green helps answer that questions. This a story about Jackie Roese, a clueless farm girl who stumbled into vocational Christian work. Jackie bumped into walls, crossed invisible lines, and ultimately reshaped her view of women-and her church's view, too. This book doesn't make the case for women to preach or lead in the church. Rather, it shares this is one woman's story of stumbling and bumping to reveal a way, a path with all its rocks, hills, and smooth road, to help others find their footing in reshaping the way we view women in the Church. Every follower of Christ is given gifts by the Holy Spirit for the building up of the church. And the same gifts are given to both men and women. Jackie Roese is a gifted leader and teacher who has an important story to tell about finding her gifts and using them for the building up of the body of Christ. In this book Jackie tells her story with characteristic courage and candor. It's an important story that will challenge and inspire anyone who reads it.

Lime Green was a total page turner for me - eloquently written, honestly told, and revealing some hard questions that need to be considered by men and women alike. After reading this book I simultaneously wanted to give a copy to everyone I know and invite the author out for a glass of wine. Lime Green made me chuckle, made me teary, and made me think. This book is an important contribution to a genre that is fast growing and best known by books such as Half the Church, Half the Sky, and Jesus Feminist, books exploring and reiterating how women are necessary and important in a highly functioning society and at the same time that we do not all look the same - and maybe that is a good thing. Maybe that is the best thing, and actually, Jesus' plan all along. I highly recommend this book!

Initially it seemed like the author was using color as a way to stereotype people. Individuals categorized by imaginary color groups seem no different than individuals herded into groups according to gender or race. I recalled the words of David G. Benner when he wrote in Surrender to Love, “The problem with thinking in terms of personality types is that people too easily put themselves (or others!) into a box and fail to encounter the parts of self that don’t fit into that box. No matter how good the system of personality classification, the best typology captures only a small part of the uniqueness of persons. Large parts always remain outside the box.” In her early chapters Roese appeals to readers to realize that godly Christian women come in more than one package color. Her use of colors almost seems to contradict her premise though. But then I kept reading, making a deliberate effort to look beyond what is arguably an awkward extended metaphor and to listen to the heart of what the author is saying. It was only then that I unearthed the pithy nuggets of truth presented in this book. Dr. Roese’s personal stories allowed me to watch her develop from a timid, corn planting farmer’s daughter, to a quiet seminary wife to a confident woman, sure of her own worth and calling. As she develops spiritually and intellectually, so does her message and her awareness of what is crippling the churches’ efforts to share the gospel with the lost. Nowhere is her message more compelling than in the analogy that opens Chapter Six: Our family spent summers going to Gilbert Lake, a small lake about fifteen minutes from our house. Though there were several lifeguard stations, only one had a certain whistle. That whistle was blown to alert everyone that someone had gone under the water and not come back up. When we heard that whistle, everyone present lined up along the shore, linked arms and started dredging the lake. The hope was that one of us would bump into the person who had gone under in time to save his or her life. Can you imagine the person under water looking at the line and saying something like, “Man, I can’t have that black guy save me!” or “I can’t have a woman save me!”? Absurd, right? And can you imagine if someone on the shore refused to link arms with people because they weren’t the right age, color, shape, religious belief, or gender? Again, absurd. Because then there’d be a gap in the link, and that gap maybe very well be where the person lay under water—dying. I picture a guy under water screaming, “Hurry! Link up! Someone, anyone, find me!” Figuratively speaking, a whole lot of people have sunk under the water, dying little deaths and big deaths all over the place. Did you know there are 160 million street children and 300 million child laborers? Did you know the sex industry is a 97.06 billion dollar worldwide business and that there are more strip clubs in the United States than any other nation? Did you know seven young people from the class of 2007 in my suburban city have either committed suicide, overdosed or been killed in a car accident? Did you know some of my relatives are drowning under water? Some of yours are too. There are people outside and inside our churches drowning. Those people can’t afford for us Christians to stand on the shore fighting or dredging the lake with gaps in the line because we’re too busy arguing over who gets to do what. As Dorothy Sayers wrote, when it comes to doing life-‐ and soul-‐saving work in the kingdom of God: “As we cannot afford to squander our natural resources of minerals, food, and beauty, so we cannot afford to discard any human resources of brains, skills, and initiative even though it is women who possess them”(117). Chapter Nine felt like sitting down for coffee with a very wise mentor. Here Dr. Roese reminds readers what God is doing in the world and how we can best cooperate with Him. “What we have going on in our churches and around the globe is not a women’s issue; it’s a human issue. It’s not an issue about women’s equality. Jesus didn’t die so we could be equal. Jesus died for something bigger than that. Equality means I’ve got my rights, and you’ve got yours, and so we’re good with each other. Do you hear how we can simply tolerate rather than integrate? Instead, God created man and woman (community) to live in shalom. Whenever and where shalom is broken, we hear the cry of our Savior, “I’m offended.” That’s bigger than equality. It may include equality, but it doesn’t rest there. Interdependent. Intertwined. Embracing otherness, as we become one (174). Dr. Roese wraps up her book by advising us how to lay down our anger at injustice so that we can better affect our churches in world changing ways. Her sage, practical counsel was the highlight of the book for me. It made me glad I kept persevering past my initial misunderstanding of the color lime green.

Dunn Full disclosure: I serve on the board of The Marcella Project (marcellaproject.com), Dr. Jackie Roese's ministry that works to ennoble women. Obviously I'm a fan of this book, but it is precisely because I know Jackie and her heart and calling that I am willing to give my time and energies to support her and her work. Jackie is not interested in fighting battles about what women can and cannot do within the church; she's interested in encouraging women to trust how God made them and to use their giftedness to advance God's Kingdom.In Lime Green, Jackie tells her own story, constantly returning to Scripture, to show how we are all created uniquely by God, and how the whole body of Christ is strengthened when all the gifts of the Spirit are brought to bear. Throughout the book, her pastor's heart reaches out to encourage, lift up, and dignify women - all women - and to make the case that all the gifts of the Spirit are valuable and necessary and should be used fully to make Jesus known.Jackie's story is compelling, but what readers walk away with is not her story, but a better understanding of how we fit into His story. As Jackie says at the end of the book, "My passion is to ennoble women. It's just not my end all be all - Jesus is." Her love for Jesus and desire for all women to live in the fullness of Him and who He created them to be is what this book is about.
