A Lenten Experience. . .
    I hope you’ve been able to find your way down to the library.  If not, perhaps you are feeling you don’t have time to read a whole book.  For this review, I would like to suggest Women in Church History: 20 Stories for 20 Centuries, by Joanne Turpin.  Maybe you could read about just a few of these remarkable women.
    Turpin chose the women for the book using three criteria: personal holiness, moral courage, and the importance of the individual’s contribution to the Church. 
    Each chapter starts with a background sketch, which gives the woman a historical context.  Then, there is a brief biography of the woman’s life, followed by an afterward which summarizes her impact on the Church and the results of her work.
Anyone who is interested in world history would appreciate this book.  If you are not a history buff, you should still check out this book, as the courage and talents of these women are inspirational.
