Eric Metaxas writes short biographies of seven women, among them Joan of Arc, Susanna Wesley, Hannah More, Saint Maria Skobtsova, Corrie ten Boom, Rosa Parks and Mother Teresa. Each chapter tells of the woman's faith and courage, and of what she did for others, from leading an army to hiding Jews from the Nazis to refusing to give up a bus seat. Metaxas claims that the source of their greatness was their devotion to God and their service to others.
It is aimed at Christian readers who want brief profiles of notable women and an argument about what made them great. It suits devotional reading or group study.
Clear-cut; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Practical Optimizer. Which reader are you?
