While most of the selections are women most Christians admire, a few make you scratch your head and ask why she included them--even after she explained her reasoning. A couple of the included women were not Christians; therefore, they cannot be a "heroine of the faith." The author included information on each women, but in some cases, her story mostly came from a single source. In other cases, she drew from varied sources. Some selections interested me more than others. I read two sketches per day most days until I finished the book. I did not want to draw it out 50 days. I found that to be a good pace. (

This is a great collection of stories that give inspiration and knowledge to the reader. I liked how the author was able to get the story across in short snippets that allow you to find out about the person and know what they stand for. It allows you the time to spend a few moments each day reading and enriching your life.
I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to be inspired and enhance their life.

I received this book free from the publisher to review. (
