Overview
WHEN A WOMAN, weathered by life’s harsh winters, tells you of God’s mighty faithfulness—you believe her. When she’s questioned her value, lost her children, seen her spouse pass, yet she sparkles when sharing of God’s intimate compassion—you’re inclined to listen.
There are many such women in this world who have walked against the wind to pursue God and reflect His loveliness to others. Put them in a persecuted country, or a difficult family, or leave them stranded in a canyon and they just might start a revival there. In fact, they might just pioneer a spiritual movement.
Come experience the formative years of Campus Crusade for Christ through the eyes of 15 women who helped pave the way.
