Hi there!Does anyone know of any good biographies on great women of God? I would like to read the for my own sake, but the main idea is for them to be an encouragement to some sisters in the Lord.Thanks./Rikard
riki,"Amy Carmicheal" would be an awesome choice. She was a great woman of God. A missionary to india.
Just been to my bookshelves and here are just a handful: "The Hiding Place" - Corrie ten Boom (wartime experiences (also on film)"Tramp for the Lord" - by Jamie Buckingham (also about Corrie ten Boom)"The Pastor's wife" - Sabina Wurmbrand (the wife of Pastor Richard Wurmbrand from Roumania - communism days in Eastern Europe)"Mary Slessor of Calabar" (Nigeria) - by W Livingstone. mine is an old book published in 1925)"Chasing the Dragon" - by Jackie Pullinger (she is working in Hong Kong amongst the drug addicts, prostitutes, triads, etc)"Until the day breaks ... the life and works of Lilias Trotter (Pioneer missionary to Muslim north Africa)" written by Patricia St John"Rescued from the Dragon" - Accounts by China by the wife of James Hudson Taylor 11 written by Alice Hayes Taylor"Things we could not say" by Diet Eman - an account of a heroic young couple who risked everything to save Jews in wartime Holland."The Torn Veil" as told to Thelma Sangster (Christ's healing power breaks through to a muslim girl)"Give Me this Mountain" by Helen Roseveare (autobiography of her time in the Congo)"Star Over the Gobi" story of Mildred Cable by Cecil Northcott (aged for 9 - 13 year olds)"The Small Woman" by Alan Burgess - story of Gladys Aylward in China (also as a film with Ingrid Bergman - I think)If you want ISBN Nos etc I will be happy to pass these on (assuming they have them!)Thank God for such women who have set us such a wonderful example.

"Amy Carmicheal" would be an awesome choice. She was a great woman of God. A missionary to india.I second my young brother - Elizabeth Elliot (Wife of Martyr Jim Elliot) wrote a biography on Amy called "A Chance to Die" and i couldn't put it down - very inspiring and challenging.Also Hannah Hurnard's "Hinds Feet in High Places" is worth reading.
