Trials have a way of changing us, for better or worse. They can humble us or harden us. They can make us run to God or away from him. Perhaps your trials have resulted in a closer walk with him, or maybe he seems far away. Often, God strengthens our faith through the witness of courageous Christians who’ve gone before us.

Be encouraged and challenged by these 12 portraits of faithful women who steadfastly endured many trials—including physical pain, persecution, infertility, loneliness, and oppression—and who, in their various sufferings, found Christ to be an all-sufficient Lord and Savior, steadfast, faithful, and true.

Praise for the book:

"Ever since I was a little girl, my heart has been warmed and my faith fueled by biographies of faithful men and women of God. The portraits of godly women found in this collection will do the same for you. In each challenge and trial these women faced, Christ proved himself to be steadfast and sufficient. The courage and compassion they exhibited in their times are no less needed in ours. May their stories inspire us to reflect his majestic gospel and grace to our world."

12 Faithful Women

After hearing one of the editors, Kristen Wetherell, give an interview about this book I was really intrigued to read it. It tells the stories of 12 Christian women as mini biographies. There is something just so interesting and challenging about reading real stories about those who have gone before, and from such a wide reaching selection of women. The stories include immense adversity, great courage, stark loneliness, and lifelong suffering and yet each story points firmly to their faithful trust in God. It was really encouraging to read the stories: some I had briefly heard of before, some I’d read the full biography of, and some I’d never heard of at all! I really liked the way that at the end of each chapter there was a series of questions about what lessons we could learn from their lives, and that was really helpful to me as it meant I didn’t just skip right onto the next story, but thought about how my life, and faith, could be shaped by those lessons. I would definitely recommend this book, and as a result of reading it I have a few complete biographies that I now really want to read! Wen Wei Chieh, Lilias Trotter and Hannah More being amongst them!
