An Email from A Student in Austria
Hello Ruth,
I just finished reading your book Leadership Reconsidered a few hours ago, and immediately googled you to find an email address. Your book was on the syllabus for our Leadership course, and it was the first time I'd heard about you. I would like to say thank you for your valuable thoughts on legacy and the wonderful inspiration you left behind, and continue to do so through your writings.
Personally, the second part of the book was not only an inspiration but also a big motivation for me. I'm 20 years old, originally from Brazil and currently studying theology in Austria. As you well know, its not always easy to be a woman in such a course. Our church (I'm a 7th Day Adventist) is currently having a big discussion on the subject of women's ordination, and I often notice the question mark in people's eyes when they hear I'm studying theology. But I'm sure I'm in the right place, where God wants me. I dream of becoming a professor and a writer some day, and reading a bit about your experiences was very inspiring. Thank you very much!
May God continue to bless your work and your ministry!
Sincerely,
Keldie Paroschi
