Saints And Other Powerful Women In The Church By Bob And Penny Lord

Description

A salute to the women of the Church. Bob & Penny Lord set their sights on some of the greatest contributors to the history of our Church, the Women of Christ. They have taken ten of the most powerful women in the Church of yesterday & today, & shared them in a way that can be understood by all. Included are St. Clare of Assisi, St. Clare of Montefalco, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Rita of Cascia, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Bernadette of Lourdes, Mother Thecla Merlo, Mother Angelica, & Sister Briege McKenna. They write about these women in their simple & engaging style which has placed them among the most popular Catholic writers of the day. Each of these ten women are Role Models for the faithful of today. Read how they suffered rejection by their peers, discrimination because of sex, & how they rose above it all to become movers & shakers in the world. Bob & Penny have successfully brought out the humanity of these women, their joys & sorrows, fears & doubts, & also their determination to be living signs of the love Jesus has for all of us.
