Turkish Title: Cesaret Abideleri Original Title: True Grit Author: Deborah Meroff
We hear about Kathryn, a deaf American who built a ministry to the deaf in Israel; Tammy, who set up businesses in Nepal to help abused women; Pam, who lived and worked in war-racked Tajikstan, a country completely alien and unknown to Westerners at the time; and Cindy who ended up returning to Vietnam, a country from which she had had a dangerous escape as a teenager. This book will make you uncomfortable. Brief fact files between stories highlight global abuses of girls and women, such as female infanticide, child brides, sex trafficking, girl soldiers, female circumcision, and 'honour' killings. What can we as God's hands and feet do in a world such as this? It isn't enough just to have our awareness raised, Cesaret Abideleri points out simple ways for us all to help turn the tide for women worldwide. Posted February 2008 |
A wake-up call to the crises facing women around the world today. Told through the experiences of nine courageous women and including hard-hitting 'Vital Statistics' files, Cesaret Abideleri shares the inspiring true stories of 'ordinary' women who, with God's help, are making a difference in places as Tajikistan, India, Egypt, and Lebanon. | < Prev | Next > |
