In this extraordinary book, Helen Kooiman Hosier tells the stories of one hundred godly women who have literally changed the twentieth century. From Twila Paris to Mother Teresa, Amy Carmichael to Joni Eareckson Tada, this collection offers readers insights into the lives of dozens of women. Their lives are a rich tapestry of experiences and backgrounds, vocations and nationalities, yet God has used each one in astonishing ways as she has yielded herself to him.
This book is a fine reference volume, but most of all it packs a wallop of inspiration. As Helen Hosier tells her audience, "My prayer is that as you read these vignettes, you'll be motivated to make the remaining chapters of your life pleasing to God and a blessing to others".
Those who will most enjoy this resource include women from all walks of life, pastors, church leaders, librarians, and biography and history buffs. Fifty-five photos and drawings are included.
