Roman Catholicism, Saints, Religion & Spirituality, Christianity 

Once again, Bob and Penny Lord have struck a chord in the heart of the Church. They have three best selling books, This Is My Body, This Is My Blood, Miracles of the Eucharist, on the Body of Christ, The Many Faces of Mary, a Love Story, on the Mother of Christ, and We Came Back to Jesus, on the Church of Christ.

Now they set their sights on some of the greatest contributors to the history of our Church, the Women of Christ.

Bob and Penny have taken ten of the most powerful women in the Church of yesterday and today, and shared them in a way that can be understood by all. They write about these women in their simple and engaging style which has placed them among the most popular Catholic writers of the day.

Each of these ten women are Role Models for the faithful of today. Read how they suffered rejection by their peers, discrimination because of sex, and how they rose above all of it to become movers and shakers of the world. There is a secret in their lives, which is not meant to be a secret. It is a common thread, an undercurrent which gave them the strength to go on when others would have backed down in the face of such overwhelming confrontation. It is the power of the Eucharist, and a true devotion to Mary.

Bob and Penny have successfully brought out the humanity of these women, their joys and sorrows, fears and doubts, and also their determination to be living signs of love Jesus has for all of us. Included are 90 photographs.
