10 Women Who Overcame Their Past
Paperback | English
By (author): Dayspring MacLeod
This book contains the stories of ten women whose circumstances and choices led them to a place that seemed far removed from the fruitful, joy-filled life we are called to live in Christ. But each of their stories is a testament to the work God does through his imperfect children. Their stories will encourage and inspire, and remind you that you are not alone in your struggles.
The names of some of these women are well-known, some are less so. The first five stories are about relationships with other people; the next five stories are about inner struggles.
