Bite–sized biographies of inspirational Christian women.
From Mary in first century Judea, to Catherine Booth in nineteenth century Britain, to Gladys Aylward in twentieth century China, these stories will introduce you to great women in the history of the Christian faith.
Their stories are very varied: Perpetua and Jane Grey lived brief lives cut short by their conspicuous and brave fidelity to Jesus, while Corrie ten Boom, although no less courageous, lived a long life that testified to God’s compassion and forgiveness. All of their stories testify to the faithfulness of God and readers will be inspired to follow their example.
