In his eagerly anticipated follow-up to the enormously successful Seven Men, New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas gives us seven captivating portraits of some of history’s greatest women, each of whom changed the course of history by following God’s call upon their lives—as women.Each of the world-changing figures in this audiobook—Joan of Arc, Susanna Wesley, Hannah More, Maria Skobtsova, Corrie ten Boom, Mother Teresa, and Rosa Parks—is an exemplary model of true womanhood. Teenaged Joan of Arc followed God’s call and liberated her country, dying a heroic martyr’s death. Susanna Wesley had nineteen children and gave the world its most significant evangelist and its greatest hymn-writer, her sons John and Charles. Corrie ten Boom, arrested for hiding Dutch Jews from the Nazis, survived the horrors of a concentration camp to astonish the world by forgiving her tormentors. And Rosa Parks’ deep sense of justice and unshakeable dignity and faith helped launch the twentieth-century’s greatest social movement.Writing in his trademark conversational and engaging style, Eric Metaxas reveals how the other extraordinary women in this audiobook achieved their greatness, inspiring listeners to lives shaped by the truth of the gospel.

In the summer of 2000, Greg Garrett walked to an intersection in Santa Fe, New Mexico with every intention of stepping in front of a speeding truck. Why he didn't - and why, in the years following, he found new reasons to live and regained the faith he thought he had lost - is the subject of this classic spiritual autobiography from one of America's most compelling spiritual writers. This revised edition of Crossing Myself contains a new Author's Note describing the effect the book has had on readers around the world, who often tell Greg that this book fell into their hands at just the moment they most needed it, and situating it on Greg's bookshelf, which now contains more than twenty books he has written or co-written. For those suffering from despair and looking for hope, for those who work with them, or for those who love them and want to understand them better, Crossing Myself is an honest and artful inside look at doubt, fear, depression, and faith from a gifted writer.
