The Life of Isabel Crawford
This biography of Isabel Crawford is a lively account of a feisty and fascinating Baptist missionary. Born in Canada in 1865, she had an independent spirit leading her to remarkable accomplishments in a life marked by obstacles. Her conversion at age ten created a lifelong commitment to Christian service. In her teens a near-fatal illness left her deaf, but nevertheless in 1893 she completed studies to become a missionary. Rejected for overseas service, she was assigned to a troubled Indian mission in Oklahoma. She began her work there with great reluctance but developed a lifelong bond with her beloved Kiowa converts. Her success as a woman missionary created friction with the American Bapt...
Canadian Methodist Women, 1766-1925

The Life and Letters of Annie Leake Tuttle
"Marilyn Fardig Whiteley gently frames Tuttle's autobiography by placing it into social and historical context. She delineates the way in which Annie claimed her identity as she began to record her life story and demonstrates how her evangelical faith enabled her to show, in her narrative, that "One above" was always "working for the best," helping her in the work she was intended to do."--BOOK JACKET.

Changing Roles of Women Within the Christian Church in Canada
Canadian religious history has been written with relatively little reference to the role of women. Throughout the years, the church itself has intensified this problem by restricting the options of women -- excluding them from the most valued roles and positions. In the past, Christian women were obliged to find alternative avenues for the expression of their faith and, as a result, their experience has been unusually rich and varied. This pioneering anthology traces the history of Canadian women in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Protestant traditions from the early days through the 1960s. Seventeen Canadian scholars tell the stories of individuals who have worked in traditional and non-t...
Family Portraits
Using family photographs and genealogical research, this book tells the story of James W. Ross and his wife, Myrtle Marion, and their ancestors.
Threads of Joy
As a child growing up in a small town in Illinois, Marilyn was imbued with the confidence that she could do just about anything if she persevered. In high school, she thrived on singing and playing piano and flute. So when she set forth for college, she thought she might pursue a career in music education. However, when she began to take college courses in religious studies, she was intrigued. Her studies gave Marilyn a way to answer her questions about her faith. Perhaps she could teach and do the same for others! Later, when she began teaching college students, she discovered that the satisfaction was well worth the hard work of her graduate school preparation. But several years after her marriage and move to Canada, her opportunities to teach came to an end. Working at the archives of the United Church of Canada, she developed a focus for research and writing, looking at the roles women have played in the church. Although things did not go as she hoped, grace led her in new directions. And Marilyn discovered threads of joy woven into the tapestry of her life.
