Ladies - read this book!
'In Trouble And In Joy' Sharon James
This is an easy and encouraging read. It contains the biographies of 4 women who loved and served God; Margaret Baxter (wife of Richard), Sarah Edwards (wife of Jonathan), Anne Steele and Frances Ridley Havergal.
A short biog is given for each woman followed by a critique of each one's character and significance. Also included are extracts from original sources and notes for futher reading. You can read it through or dip in and out. Sharon James intends it to be a short anthology.
It is definitely worth a read, see you identify with...
What is particualrly encouraging, in each case, is that they are different women, living in different times and different places, each with a deep love for God, the same God who is never changing and never ceasing, whose grace faileth never. Their lives, lived in faith are witness to God's grace.
