In Her Steps

Denise Marie Siino. Nashville: Broadman & Holman, 2005. 228 pp. (Paperback).

“In Her Steps” is a collection of stories about ancient and modern women who can truly be called heroes. In a world where celebrity seems to have replaced character as the measure of a woman’s life, this production is a refreshing change.

Included here are moving vignettes of such women as Jill Briscoe, Amy Carmichael, Shirley Dobson, Elizabeth Dole, Condoleezza Rice, Joni Eareckson Tada and Corrie ten Boom.

There are also stories about biblical characters such as Esther, Mary of Bethany, Mary of Magdala and the woman at the well.
