How One Book Club Sparked a Movement: A Tribute to Delores Pressley and the Power of Sisterhood
Almost a decade ago, 52 Lessons for Christianpreneurs found its way into the hearts and hands of faith-driven leaders across the country. But one of the first and most powerful public book studies came from someone near and dear to my heart: Delores Pressley, world-renowned speaker, empowerment coach, and founder of She Elevates®.
What happened next was beautiful.
A Room Full of Purpose
In 2017, Delores gathered an extraordinary group of women in Canton, Ohio—entrepreneurs, leaders, and difference-makers—for a faith-centered book club grounded in 52 Lessons for Christianpreneurs. This wasn’t just a study group. It became a sacred space for:
- Studying God’s Word
- Supporting one another’s dreams
- Praying together for life, purpose, and business breakthroughs
Their sessions were hosted at Faith Family Church – Canton, and the impact was deep. These women built something more than businesses—they built each other up.
As Delores shared in her own words:
“We have such an amazing time studying God’s Word, supporting each other and each other’s businesses, and praying together. I thank God for giving me the vision to lead this group of women entrepreneurs… We love using TC Cooper’s book, 52 Lessons for Christianpreneurs, as our study guide.”
A Look Back in Gratitude
These photos say it all—smiling faces, hearts connected by purpose, and women of different backgrounds coming together with one mission: to build businesses that glorify God.
This group didn’t just study the book—they lived it. And their journey became a living example of what happens when faith meets focus and flows through intentional action.
Honoring Delores Pressley
Delores has always been a woman of impact. As the founder of She Elevates®, she helps young girls grow into confident, courageous leaders. As an international keynote speaker, she’s inspired thousands to boldly pursue their calling.
And as my friend, she’s been one of the first to amplify my work and encourage others to walk in faith with excellence.
Delores—thank you. You helped spark something special.
The Lesson for All of Us
This story reminds me of a truth worth repeating:
When one woman says yes to her calling, others are empowered to say yes too.
So, if you’re holding a dream, a business idea, a book, or a mission in your heart—let this be your confirmation.
Start the book club. Launch the study group. Gather the women. Share your voice.
You never know who it will bless.
