Her Way
Before there was a Woman's Missionary Union, there was Hephzibah Jenkins Townsend, a determined and courageous woman who transcended the societal constraints of the antebellum South to found a missionary society that would become the model for hundreds of others to follow. Hephzibah, mistress of a large plantation on South Carolina's Edisto Island, gave birth to fifteen children. Her passion was missions, and in order to fund missions and to found a church, Hephzibah and her beloved servant Bella started a baking business. Force of character and a profound sense of justice were the hallmarks of Hephzibah's life. This is her remarkable story. Rosalie Hall Hunt is an avid historian, especially...

Bless God and Take Courage
An engaging and in-depth tale of a couple who influenced the birth of American missions, "Bless God and Take Courage" (one of Ann Judson's favorite sayings) provides an intriguing trail of never-before-published discoveries about the missionaries.
Agnes Grey
As the daughter of a modest minister, Agnes Grey has low prospects in life. After her father loses most of the family’s savings, Agnes is determined to help out and takes a position as governess for a wealthy family. Being a governess turns out to be more challenging than she could have predicted as she has to manage spoiled children and petty parents, while dependent on their approval for her livelihood. Agnes Grey is the first novel by Anne Brontë, published in 1847, and today considered an everlasting classic. Like the famous Jane Eyre, by Anne’s sister Emily Brontë, it deals with the precarious position of the governess and how the young women taking on that role were treated. It is a poignant and insightful novel that explores rigid class structures and the challenges it poses to women. ANNE BRONTË [1820-1849] was an English poet and novelist. She was the youngest of the three Brontë authors, her older sisters being Emily and Charlotte. Anne died young, probably from tuberculosis, having published the novels Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, the latter hailed today as one of the first feminist novels.
A Noble Company
The aim of these volumes is to recount the lives and collective deeds of the Particular/Regular Baptists in America. The persons whose lives are recalled in these pages were indeed a noble company of men, women, and children, who exemplify for us in modern times the struggles and triumphs of "a sect everywhere spoken against," and who are worthy of our remembrance.
Addie Goes to China
It is my desire to share about the life and work of Addie Estelle Cox, a friend of my grandmother, Cecil Harper Gates. The more I know about Addie's work, the more I appreciate her and what she and others have done in going to other countries and other cultures to share about the love of Jesus. It was my pleasure to know her when I was a young girl, as she visited our church during furloughs back to the States. Her bundle of energy, her serious commitment to sharing God's Word, and the discipline that was obvious in her life made an impression upon my life. May her memory and her devotion to Jesus be kept alive in the generations to come, and may God use this book to call out other people to mission fields still "ripe unto harvest." Bonnie Gates Windle grew up on a farm in rural Alabama, where she learned to love God, her family and God's people.
Out of Exile
No woman in the history of Woman's Missionary Union has been more revered than the inimitable Fannie Exile Scudder Heck. By the very force of her personality, she helped to shape WMU into the largest missions organization for women in the world.

Silhouette of a Sparrow
Growing up in the 1920s, sixteen-year-old Garnet Richardson watches the birds outside her window, admiring their freedom and beauty. Her mother, on the other hand, does not approve of Garnet climbing trees to peer into nests. She has Garnet’s life all planned out: after finishing high school, she’ll marry and tend to the home. When Garnet is sent away for the summer to stay with relatives in the lakeside resort town of Excelsior, Minnesota, she discovers a chance to spread her wings. There she finds herself under the supervision of oppressive guardians and her father’s wealthy cousin. But an amusement park and roaring dance hall beckon, and her explorations land her where she least expects—enthralled with a beautiful and daring flapper, Isabella. Caught between her family’s expectations and her own newfound passions, Garnet must decide whose dreams to follow. Tender and moving, Silhouette of a Sparrow is the tale of a young woman’s discovery of the science of risk, the art of rebellion, and, of course, the power of unexpected love.
