| Publisher Description: This is a valuable addition to the heightened awareness that acknowledges, in a gentle and spiritual way, the witness and contribution of women to the spread of Christianity throughout the ages. The lives of some three hundred women are woven into this fascinating account --from biblical times, through early persecutions, of mystics, martyrs, pioneers and missionaries, up to the present time, including the work of Mother Teresa. It is hoped the book will stir the imagination of many to discover how God has chosen women to be living stones in the building of his Church in the world of their day. |
