Meet the Women
Stories filled with passion, power, and purpose
They were women of passion, power, and purpose, living in difficult times, facing undeniable odds. Some rose to meet the day's challenges. Others did not. Some held faith and courage close to their hearts. Others wavered, and stumbled toward faith when all else had failed. But whatever the circumstances, and however long ago they lived, these women carry messages of love, hope, and redemption that resonate in today's hearts and minds.
