Clothed With Strength: Women Who Built the Church and Changed the World

It's easy to imagine that Christian women of the past were shrinking violets who were side-lined and excluded from making a difference in the church and in the world.The truth is that God has always raised up strong and courageous women to do his work. You might never have heard of Rebecca Protten, Hannah More, Ellen Raynard and Josephine Butler, but you'll never forget how God used these four very different women to fight against injustice and poverty and to transform lives. These eighteenth and nineteenth century women worked in partnership with men to shape the evangelical church. Let their stories challenge you and fuel your faith today.

‘I loved reading this book – all 4 women are different and interesting in their own ways. Sarah Allen is really honest about the flaws and struggles these women had but shows how God still used them and their faith amazingly in various contexts. These women are inspiring in the way that they loved, built up and discipled the women around them, as well as fighting for justice on a larger scale. I found Sarah’s writing style really engaging and I love how nuanced and gentle she was in dealing with parts of the women’s culture/attitudes that we would maybe disagree with today.’ Beth
