Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for Caxton Press These are stories about an extraordinary array of women of different ethnicities and regions of Idaho, whose lives span six decades and more. Women who created their own lives in their own ways, with gusto and hard work.
In the jungles of Liberia, "Mother Eliza," as they called her, rescued little girls from marriages to old men and provided education for tribal people. She raised funds in the tottering economy of the Great Depression, and she single-handedly persuaded government leaders to donate land for her mission work. When her American supporters failed to send promised funds, she dug her own food out of the jungle soil. Nothing was too difficult, no obstacle too great, to keep her from telling the story of Jesus' love. In fact, she made her last journey into the jungles of Liberia when she was 95 years of age.
Lorry Lutz highlights the lives of a dozen contemporary women who have exercised leadership in Christ's kingdom, hoping to encourage more women to take their rightful place alongside men in building Christ's church.
