Publisher's Synopsis
When we talk about great figures in spiritual history, women are frequently absent from the conversation. We hear about the Martin Luthers, the Davids, the Charles Finneys, but we leave out the Marys, the Rosa Parks, the Syncletias, and the Amy Carmichaels. For Christian women, it can be easy to assume that you have no place and no real part in Christian history. Yet one of the greatest joys a woman of God can experience is that she is not alone, and that history is full of women who have struggled, overcome, and experienced life much like she has, and got through it every step of the way with faith and perseverance. In this new and updated version of Surrounded By So Great A Cloud Of Witnesses: Women Of Faith Who Revolutionized History, Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino, Ph.D., D.Min., D.D. Introduces the world to over 250 different women in devotional-style format. The women featured in this book come from different backgrounds, nations, eras, and lives, but all have one thing in common: They are all women of faith who have changed the face of history. Suitable as a meditative focus or reference work, this book will take the reader from Biblical times to modern-day "she-roes," women who are some of the most unsung - and yet powerful - "herstory" makers. See how God has worked through women throughout history as you gain empowerment and inspiration for your own walk with God.
