Kraft, Marguerite. 2003. Frontline Women. Pasadena, Calif.: William Carey Library. (The book has 12 chapters, each by a different author, although the editor wrote one chapter and she and her husband together wrote another chapter. Marla Campbell wrote two chapters, including one on the biblical basis of women ministers. She was Dean of Students at Bethany College in California and several of her references reflect Assemblies of God resources. Most of the authors are women and the majority is or has been associated with Biola University. A brief biographical sketch of each author is presented at the front of the book. It does have two severe editing problems and a chapter on demonic influence that has wording that Assemblies of God frowns on, but nevertheless has some good principles.)
