What's being said about the book: Making a Way out of No Way

“Monica Coleman’s elegant prose makes Making a Way out of No Way a clear and accessible introduction to postmodern womanist theology. This book is a wonderful synthesis of the best of the past with attention to the foibles of our twenty-first-century present and realistic hope for creative future possibilities.”

Karen Baker-Fletcher,  Ph.D. Professor of Systematic Theology at Perkins School of Theology,  Southern Methodist University
