Such notable Christian leaders as Richard C. Halverson, Luis Evans, Jr. and Bill Bright were among her students.

This review is from: Dream Big: The Henrietta Mears Story (Hardcover)
Just finished this. It's wonderful to read about this godly woman who directly impacted so many women and men--many of who served all over the world as a result of her ministry. An incredible example of leadership, of staying relavant, remaining humble, always pursuing God... Do keep in mind, however, that her wonderful sister took care of all external (household) responsibilities so that Henrietta would be free to follow God's leading in her life. (That's for all of you women who might feel a little guilty after reading it :)) Either way, this book will challenge and inspire both men and women. Highly recommend.

Tremendous Female Biography,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dream Big: The Henrietta Mears Story (Hardcover)
Henrietta Mears was a woman who loved the Lord and took Him at His Word. She stepped out in faith and accomplished great things for the glory of Jesus Christ. Even though she is now with Him in heaven, she lives on through her impact on the lives of others and her writings. I highly recommend this well-written biography - you will be challenged by what God can accomplish through one surrendered life!
