A Cloud of Witnesses: 50 Readings on Women of Faith

From Teresa of Avila to Corrie ten Boom, women of faith through the centuries have left us a rich legacy of wisdom through their examples of lives well-lived for God. A Cloud of Witnesses is a delightful introduction to some of these extraordinary women. Through fifty brief, user-friendly devotional readings, readers - walk with Amy Carmichael through the streets of India, where she rescued children from Hindu temple prostitution- consider Susanna Wesley's motherly advice to her son on resisting worldly temptations- experience the shackles of prison with French mystic Jeanne Guyon, who found the strength to pray, "Thy will be done!" A related Scripture reading and prayer follow each biographical account and ensure easy personal application. Daniel and Margaret Partner are also coauthors of the companion book Women of Sacred Meditations on Hymns by Women, which profiles the contributions of Christian women to music.
