Reformation Women: Sixteenth-Century Figures Who Shaped Christianity's Rebirth

Great material for a ladies’ Bible study - the men can’t live on bread alone, and some of these women were downright inspirational in their dedication to building the kingdom.

I didn't realize these women lived in the 1500s--I thought it was the 1600s--so this book was surprising from the start. Some of their stories are the same, but I was impressed by these mothers of the Protestant faith and the agonies they endured on behalf of God.

The book felt choppy, with odd transitions at times. Also, it’s missing Ch. 6 about Jeanne d’ Albret. But it was interesting to read about how strong, faithful women, and some not always so strong, played an important role in the Protestant reformation. And the last chapter is a must-read!!!

I am enjoying this book. Each of the women described in this book, and their life's contribution to the reformation is well written and merely a few pages long. It has been a great book for my women's bible study group.

Such an incredibly beautiful book! I loved how the stories of the 12 women were compiled. It was so inspiring to learn how each woman used her unique skills and abilities to honor the Lord and further the spread of the Reformation. I was also particularly struck by the amount of suffering these women faced. Even when great trials came, like widowhood or the deaths of their children, these women continued in fruitfulness for the sake of the Gospel. Highly highly recommend!!

This is a great book. Women are historically sometimes just left out of the narratives of history; This book tells the stories of some of the women who were such an important part of the Protestant Reformation, and tells them very well.

I love this book. I am learning so much and am encouraged reading these stories of these amazing women of faith

Excellent choice of women only a few I had ever heard of before.
