Fifty Remarkable Women in Church History

By: Richard M. Hannula

Narrated by: Toby Sumpter

Your family will be fascinated and fed by these 50 true stories of great Christian women throughout history. From South America to Europe, from China to Africa to the Wild West, in prisons and in throne rooms, many great Christian women have left a stunning legacy for their successors.

These short and moving biographies for young people introduce 50 often unfamiliar champions of the faith: women like Ida Kahn, who opened the first hospital in a Chinese city of 300,000 people; Lady Anne Hamilton, who rode with the Covenanter cavalry at the decisive Battle of Berwick; and Anngrace Taban, who was forced to type secret battle plans for the Sudan People's Liberation Army.

In any culture where women's role in society is often at question, these examples of faithfulness can remind us that courage and godliness are possible anywhere, even if you are surrounded by Muslim raiders, Japanese guards, Nazis, or cannibals.

Outstanding

Richard Hannula had outdone himself with this book. The women he profiles are not all well known so it was a pleasure to hear so many new stories if faithfulness to the gospel
of Jesus Christ. This is one a reader could read over and over again and still gain more knowledge. Absolutely exceptional.

Double chapters

Seems chapters 40-43 are repeats of the same story. Overall great book. Inspiring and humbling.
