Here's a short blurb about the book:
These are the stories of five ordinary women-Sarah Edwards, Lilias Trotter, Gladys Aylward, Esther Ahn Kim, and Helen Roseveare-who trusted in their extraordinary God as he led them to do great things for his kingdom. Noël Piper holds up their lives and deeds as examples of what it means to be truly faithful. Learning about these women will challenge readers to make a difference for Christ in their families, in the church, and throughout the world.
I'm pumped about this book for a few different reasons. Let me tell you about them, and I'm sure you won't be able to resist reading it with me too! First, Noel Piper is an EXCELLENT author! She has a great writing style and is very enjoyable to follow. Second, the book combines 5 short biographies of women from the past who were faithful in serving God {each in different ways}. I absolutely love biographies because I find them inspiring and challenging. And the third reason I'm excited about this new book is because I think it will have something for every woman who picks it up since it covers the lives of five uniquely gifted women.
Best of all, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY IT!! {sorry, I didn't mean to yell that.. I just got excited!} Check out the links below for a free version (you can read it on your computer, electronic reading device, or just print it). If you do want to buy it, I don't think you'll regret spending the $10 because it is the kind of book that lends toward underlining, highlighting, starring, and dog-earing. (:
You can read it free here {pdf format via Desiring God}

I would like to start reading it soon, but I realize that some of you may want some time to buy it and have it shipped. So I plan to start in December. There happen to be five main chapters {who would've thought?!?!}, and there also happen to be 5 Mondays in December, so let's try to read Chapter 1 by Monday, December 3rd! Hopefully we can use December (and any down-time that the holidays provide) to read through the book. Who knows, it may even give each of us some fodder for New Year's Resolutions. :D
