Carved in Ebony: Lessons from the Black Women Who Shape Us
Ebook
A look at the inspirational lives of ten Black women of
faith
Do the names Elizabeth Freeman, Nannie Helen Burroughs,
or Charlotte Forten Grimké ring any bells? Have you ever heard of
Sarah Mapps Douglass, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, or Maria
Fearing? What about Sara Griffith Stanley, Amanda Berry Smith, Lucy
Craft Laney, and Maria Stewart?
While these names may not be familiar to you, these women lived
faithful and influential lives in a world that was filled with
injustice. They worked to change laws, built schools, spoke to
thousands, and shared the Gospel all around the world. And while
history books may have forgotten them, their stories can teach us
so much about how we can live today.
Praise for Carved in
Ebony
