Official synopsis Publisher
Margaret Baxter (1639-1681) was a rebellious, glamorous teenager, who married a Puritan minister twice her age. Although prone to anxiety and fear, she was devoted to evangelism and had a deep compassion for the poor. Sarah Edwards (1710-1758) had an extraordinary sense of the love of God. Her recorded spiritual experience during a time of revival is one of the profoundest known. Anne Steele (1717-1778) refused several offers of marriage. She had a consistent gratitude for God’s goodness; many of her poems and hymns capture her sense of the presence of God. Anne’s life included submission to suffering, which, she believed, brought her closer to God. Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879) was one of the best-known Christians in Victorian England through her many hymns, tracts and devotionals. Her hymn, Take my life and let it be, is one of the most popular of all time. – Publisher.
