We have few records about the service of Christian women in Aisa. Historian Anne C. kwantes has researched the lives of a number of brave women whose stories deserve to be retold and remembered. These accounts are enriched by reminiscences, interviews, excerpts from journals and materials from libraries across Asia sa well as farther afield.

May the stories in this book and the questions for discussion and reflection inspire and challenge each reader in turn to do something beautiful for Jesus.
