My review:

I have enjoyed doing The One Year Women in Christian History Devotional over the past year.

When I first started the devotional I was expecting it to be only women from the Bible. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it included women from the earliest churches to women in the modern era.

This devotional takes less than five minutes each day. Depending on the day, there is a topic or person, scripture verses, a brief page of information, and a scripture verse at the end of the page. There are familiar names, like Mary Magdalene, and unfamiliar (to me) names, like Dorothy Carey. I enjoyed learning about these women of the faith, the hardships they endured, and the impact they have made on history. 

I highly recommend this devotional to anyone who wants to learn more about women of the faith.

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

Starting with Mary, who initially discovered the empty tomb, women have played a significant role in the history of the Christian church. Their prayers, their songs of faith, and their steadfast perseverance in the face of adversity can still encourage us today. Spend the year with some of the greatest women in Christian history: from Claire of Assisi to Joan of Arc, from Fanny Crosby to Susannah Wesley, from Catherine Booth to Anne Bradstreet, and many more. This One Year book leaves no historical stone unturned in order to help you discover the amazing spiritual heritage you have in the lives of faith-filled women of the past.
