Josephine Benton's book is an
easy-to-read collection of stories of Seventh-day Adventist women ministers
spanning more than a century. In it she introduces her readers to many women
who have been called into the ministry of God and whose gifts have been
officially recognized by the church, but only one of whom was an ordained
minister—Ellen White. The commitment, resourcefulness, tragedies, and joys
of these women ministers will provide inspiration for the reader as well as
for other women in today's church.
