With the names of these twenty-one heroines you can go through history and see how women made made a difference in their world and in church. From the slave girl Balndina through to the young mother Betty Stam, we discover the women who faced their struggles with strength - the strength of God.
Many of these women made sacrifices for their faith. They endured the pain and suffering in order to give glory to their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. They had real faith - a faith with muscle. There were tortures and imprisonments, executions and separations from husbands and family. Lonely nights and heartache were a reality but so is God and the knowledge that nothing that can separate us from the love of God.
Throughout the years Catherine has collected books and information about real life heroes. She lives in Inverness and has written many other children's books, including retellings of Bible stories and biographies.
