I am reviewing a copy of Carved In Ebony, Lessons from the Black Women Who Shape Us through Bethany House Publishers and Netgalley:
Elizabeth Freeman, Nannie Helen Burroughs, or Charlotte Forten Grim, do these names sound familiar? Have you heard of Sarah Mapps Douglass, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, or Maria Fearing? What about Sara Griffith Stanley, Amanda Berry Smith, Lucy Craft Laney, and Maria Stewart?
Some of these names may be familiar to you, most may not, but these women lived faithful and influential lives in a world that was filled with injustice. They worked to change laws, built schools, spoke to thousands, and shared the Gospel all around the world. And while history books may have forgotten them, their stories can teach us so much about how we can live today.
I give Carved in Ebony five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
