ELEVATE: Jesus’s Global Revolution For Women – Dr. Elena Garcia McKean

Jesus came to elevate women, not to oppress them. He came to empower them, not to silence them. He came to love them, not to abuse them. He came to dignify them, not to objectify them. And He came to enlist them, not to exclude them.” -Dr. Elena Garcia McKean

Overlooked and under-taught is Jesus’ remarkable faith and revolutionary vision for women to be a vital part of His plan to change the world. This book is built on the foundation of the Women’s Elevation Section in Luke 7-8. Elena’s keen insight “discovered” and then expounded upon this passage for her doctoral dissertation. In turn, she became the first woman to receive the doctorate degree from the prestigious International College of Christian Ministries in Los Angeles, California. Though Elena has spoken to women’s groups in over 30 countries around the world, she understood the words of the reformer Martin Luther who stated, “If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.” Indeed, all who dare read this uplifting Biblical study on Jesus’ Global Revolution For Women will be highly motivated to ELEVATE their faith, their goals and their vision to change the world!
