WOMEN OF FAITH & COURAGE
By Vance Christie
Christian Focus. 284 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978 1 845 506 865

‘Of the making of books there is no end.’ So says the writer of Ecclesiastes and so said I when this book arrived.

I looked across at my bookshelf and saw that I had at least one book on each of the women featured in this latest collection of abridged biographies. So I approached this book reluctantly, wondering what it could add to those detailed accounts. I found, to my surprise, that it did add something valuable.
