Hi friends,
I take a break from my series on sex — start with “Keep the Devil Out of Bed” — and introduce you to Sacred Friendships, Celebrating the Legacy of Women Heroes of the Faith. Written by Robert W. Kellemen, Ph.D. and Susan M. Ellis, this easy-to-read book reveal the stories of more than 50 Christian women — yes, women. Some you may have heard about, most you haven’t.
And if you leave a comment after you read this post, you may win a free autographed copy of Sacred Friendships. Bob and Susan say that they will randomly select five readers of the 20-plus blogs participating in this blog tour.
The authors write, “Our purpose is to uncover the buried treasure of wisdom about soul care and spiritual direction as practiced by women throughout the history of Christianity. Christian women from all races and nationalities have always helped hurting hardened people through the personal ministries of sustaining, healing, reconciling, and guiding.”
Are you convinced that women have much to teach men and women about life and ministry?
(Yes, women.)
Then you want to read Sacred Friendships. It poses this provocative question, and it equips you to change lives as you learn from the women you went before you.
Among the stories are better-known women like Susannah Spurgeon and Sojourner Truth and those whose names you may have never heard but whose lives have much to teach about Christ-likeness. My personal favorite: Elizabeth Keckley, a black woman who sustained Mary Lincoln after the assassination of her husband and the president, Abraham Lincoln.
Another bright spot of Sacred Friendships: each chapter’s Q & A called “Learning Together from Our Great Cloud of Witnesses.” You can use this in a Bible study group or for personal study.
