Description

These are the stories of five ordinary women-Sarah Edwards, Lilias Trotter, Gladys Aylward, Esther Ahn Kim, and Helen Roseveare-who trusted in their extraordinary God as he led them to do great things for his kingdom.

Learning about these women will challenge readers to make a difference for Christ in their families, in the church, and throughout the world.

"Noël Piper tells the stories of five women whose lives declare something we have almost forgotten-what it means to be a Christian. May the influence of this book cause that awareness to burn brightly again in our generation!" - Ray and Jani Ortlund, Renewal Ministries

"I highly recommend this book as one of the great sagas of missionaries and Christian biography." - David M. Howard Jr., Professor of Old Testament, Bethel University, St. Paul, Minnesota

Noël Piper challenges all of us to move away from intimidation to imitation: 'Remember your leaders . . . imitate their faith' (Hebrews 13:7)." - Dr. Rick and Fran LoveDr. Rick Love, Intl.
