Throughout history; countless women have boldly stepped out in faith and courage; leaving their indelible mark on those around them and on the kingdom of God. In lively prose Michelle DeRusha tells their stories; bringing into focus fifty incredible heroines of the faith. From Catherine of Siena; Teresa of Avila; and Anne Hutchison to Susanna Wesley; Harriet Tubman; and Corrie ten Boom; women both famous and admirable live again under DeRusha's expert pen. These engaging narratives are a potent reminder to readers that we are not alone; the battles we face today are not new; and God is always with us in the midst of the struggle.

F. MooneyThis is; simply put; an excellent book; historical theology at its best. The scope is very wide; yet not at the cost of useful or thought-provoking depth on this topic - all the more remarkable in a book of 192 pages. If only more authors would think so clearly before beginning to write and remember the virtue of brevity!Capetz has a way of re-explaining or re-examining the familiar ideas and putting them into a fresh perspective grounded in history. He clearly shows how some tenets of Christianity about God began and evolved; and does so with a fine and subtle economy of language.A fine book; a pleasure to read and reflect on. I look forward to more from this talented author and thinker.
