The Evangelist: Memoir of Nettie B. Rogers

As we reflect on the history of women in ministry, we see few women who undergo denial as preachers or evangelists but who managed to survive with strength, poise, and godliness. This is the case for Evangelist Nettie B. Rogers.

As a minister of the gospel, Evangelist Rogers faced many adversities. She remained steadfast, however, and did not denounce her calling to the preaching ministry but remained true to it. She persevered as a strong supporter of female ministers of the gospel.

Throughout her life, she cast her bread upon the water, evangelizing and ministering to others. She indeed had a vertical love for God and a horizontal love for her family and humanity. Her memoir reflects her positive work, and after many years of labor, the Lord blessed the work of her hands.

This book is essential reading for women and men entering the ministry and facing challenges. May you be encouraged.

And in the words of Evangelist Rogers, "Tell Him [God] 'Thank you!' Mighty Sweet! Mighty Sweet!"
