<P>This book offers a fascinating look at the world of Christian women celebrities. Since the 1970s, an important new figure has appeared on the center stage of American evangelicalism—the celebrity preacher's wife. Although most evangelical traditions bar women from ordained ministry, many women have carved out unofficial positions of power in their husbands' spiritual empires or their own ministries. The biggest stars—such as Beth Moore, Joyce Meyer, and Victoria Osteen—write bestselling books, grab high ratings on Christian television, and even preach. The author, an acclaimed religious historian, offers a sympathetic and revealing portrait of megachurch women celebrities, showing how they must balance the demands of celebrity culture and conservative, male-dominated faiths. The story of women who most often started off as somebody's wife and ended up as everyone's almost-pastor, this volume is a compelling account of women's search for spiritual authority in the age of celebrity.</P>
