Description

In Women Are Kingmakers! Bishop Wellington Boone declares that women are God’s Great Idea, created to fulfill the destiny of God through their unique power of influence. In every area of society, some women stand out from the crowd. Author Wellington Boone calls them Kingmakers. He writes, “They’re the women that people remember. They’re the women that people should listen to. They’re the wives, mothers, teachers, and managers who helped others become what they are today. You don’t see the mom behind a person who becomes great, but she’s a Kingmaker, whether you see her or not. She’s under acknowledged and under-appreciated, but she’s a Kingmaker just the same. “A Kingmaker is the wife that every man wants. She’s the woman you want to manage your company. She’s the team player who helps you to win. For a Kingmaker, no task is too difficult; no sacrifice too great. She has an inner substance that makes a difference in the lives of others. She’s a Kingmaker.” Who are the Kingmakers? A Kingmaker has the power of influence over another person’s life and the ability from God to make that person great. – They’re the Wives men love to come home to. – They’re the Mommas kids look for in the stands. – They’re the Managers who rebuild underperforming companies. Wherever you find Kingmakers-Family, Church, Marketplace, Ministry-They’re always making other people great!
