B&H Publishing Group’s The Measure of Success by Carolyn McCulley and Nora Shank (B&H Books) received the Award of Merit in the Her.meneutics category of the 2015 Christianity Today Book Awards.

Christianity Today’s editorial team picked books that are most likely to shape evangelical life, thought and culture, and Her.meneutics was a new category this year.

Her.meneutics writer Megan Hill commended McCulley and Shank’s book.

“This book offers a bigger picture, bigger solutions and wider grace than the typical women-and-work-life-balance conversation,” Hill said. “McCulley and Shank lay out a robust theology of work and an engaging historical survey before calling women in all situations to embrace ambition for God’s glory.” 

Published in February, The Measure of Success provides a blueprint to guide women of all ages—whether married or single and whether working inside the home or in the marketplace.

American women are currently being encouraged to “lean in” and build their careers, yet Christian women acknowledge there is a faith element to be included in this discussion. McCulley offers an in-depth look at what it means to be a productive, godly woman in the workplace or in the home and suggests guidelines for living a life that glorifies God.

“The issues related to calling, work and the home are central to all women,” said B&H Trade Book Publisher Jennifer Lyell. “Carolyn provides a thoughtful, tangible and biblical approach to how women can walk in the freedom of who God has called them to be in all the seasons of life.”
