Foreword

This collection of sermons by Salvationist women preachers is a very important book. It deserves to be read, used and shared, for four good reasons:

• It reflects our strong heritage and shows us that what Catherine Booth won for us in the Army's earliest days, is carried on with quality and clarity. Women have a right to speak and to preach
• It is a book dedicated to the memory of Commissioner Helen Clifton by whose initiative this project came about. The commissioner had a heart for the gospel and its proclamation by women.
• Perhaps the most important reason is caught in the title, Called to Preach. For Salvationists, this goes to the very heart of the matter, before and beyond Catherine Booth and Helen Clifton. The writers and preachers are communicating that they have been obedient to a calling upon their lives. The Lord has appointed them and anointed them to preach. He has something to say to us through these sermons. That is reason enough to read, listen and respond.
• But lastly and significantly, this is an inspiring collection of messages.

I recommend it heartily.
