The inspiring stories of the women who helped to shape our faith

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 Ávila, and Anne Hutchinson to Susanna Wesley, Harriet Tubman, and Corrie ten Boom, these admirable women live again under DeRusha's expert pen. These engaging narratives are a potent reminder to us 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.


"This book is rich in inspiration and information. Reading it opened my eyes, broadened my vision, and challenged my faith. I highly recommend it to both men and women!"--Warren W. Wiersbe, author and former pastor of the Moody Church, Chicago

"Fifty women who teach us that famous isn't about how many people know your name and that brave often looks like pressing on even when you're afraid. My daughter and I are both indebted to Michelle for introducing us to many women we'd never met before and are sure never to forget."--Lisa-Jo Baker, community manager for (in)courage and author of Surprised by Motherhood

"In the face of some of the same questions, temptations, and doubts we encounter today, these women were pioneers. Their stories give the church of today--men and women alike--a courageous and brave example of living faith and of livingout faith, the evidence of things unseen."--Deidra Riggs, managing editor of The High Calling and founder of Jumping Tandem

"In this thoroughly researched and well-written work, Michelle DeRusha invites us into the lives of fifty women whose stories are our stories. This book inspired me, challenged me, and made me feel so proud to be a woman who belongs to Jesus."--Jennifer Dukes Lee, author of Love Idol


Michelle DeRusha writes a monthly column on religion and spirituality for the Lincoln Journal Star and is a regular contributor to The High Calling and other online journals. She also writes about faith in the everyday on her blog at www.michellederusha.com. She lives with her husband and their two boys in Nebraska.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Each short "biography" in this book introduces one to a woman who said "yes" to God's prompting in ways that made significant marks on the world. Some of them suffered terribly, but carried on anyway. Many of them stepped outside of what was expected of them by society and showed courage that inspires. Others performed the role society required of them, but in exceptional and influential ways. Many of the chapters had me turning to the internet to learn more. The writing style is light and easy, and each chapter starts with a real time cameo that grips.

    It's ok but honestly not sure if some of these women should be included......really, some are definitely more on the list of heretics than women who are Heroines of the Christian Faith.

    Also, a slow read......I know it's meant to be biographical but I think the content is filtered more through the author making these being women who inspire others than accurate history. And it's not a book that will capture and hold your interest very well.

    So read it for what it is....an OK book about women who had faith through difficult lives.

    I read this book as part of my daily devotional time . The chapters are brief enough and the writing engaging enough to serve as a great start for my day. I was introduced to many interesting women of faith , many for the first time. Even those I was familiar with,I always learned something new. These brief biographical sketches did a good job capturing the person's personal history and accomplishments. Given the current debates about women in ministry and complementary or egalitarianism, it was instructive to learn how Godly women have been used by God to build His Kingdom throughout history. I have also come to realize the importance of becoming more well versed in church history.

    Inspiring! I have always looked to older women for guidance. Insight into these women's struggles in every aspect of life provokes me to examine my own walk of faith and commitment to God. Added to my morning devotions they have challenged me to a more intimate walk with Jesus Christ. Living well has nothing to do with the superficiality of our society, but everything to do with raw understanding of our being out here for this time and this place. Each of us is purposed to fulfill God's call for us.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2015
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The author of this compilation brings together a unique combination of 50 women from all walks of life and multiple centuries to show how each followed God in obedience. The short biographies make pleasant reading. From an historian's perspective, I wish the author had used more primary source material where it's available. Some of these women wrote autobiographies, and yet those are not the primary resource for the author's research. They don't always make it into the recommended books for further research. To her credit, the author includes a broad spectrum of nationalities and branches of Christianity.
