The Reformation was led by men like Luther, Calvin and Zwingli who revolutionised their world and ours. But there were also many remarkable women who defied social biases and traditions with a dauntless commitment to God’s Word.

These are the true stories of eight of these women: follow Katharina von Bora as she escapes from a convent to start a revolutionary new life; flee Paris with Charlotte Duplessis de Mornay, who wrote an eyewitness account of the gruesome St Bartholomew’s Day massacre; and learn about the new faith with Queen Katherine Parr, the only one of Henry VIII’s wives to survive him.

These women were heads of state, writers, activists, poets and scholars but they were also very human, with their own loves, fears, heartbreaks and temptations. When we are called to stand for our faith, we can be inspired by their legacy.

Available in Audiobook, eBook and physical formats.

This is really compelling, and a book that is hard to put down. It chronicles a very dark time in history. The stories of these 8 women are truly inspiring. These ladies were courageous, articilate and well educated. Some of these women wrote well respected articles and even translated parts of the Bible. All of these women were prepared to die rather than denounce their faith. I pray I might have that same conviction.

I was amazed by the stories of these 8 women. They didn’t just bravely stand up for their faith, they were intelligent and articulate. Some even wrote articles and translated parts of the Bible. Through that dark time in history they all were prepared to die rather than deny a single belief. God please give me that courage.
