Their inspiring stories will strengthen your faith and encourage you in your relationship with Christ.


"Linda Lesniewski has given us a book with a powerful emotional punch. It is a very moving account of a genuine reaction to Christ."--T. W. Hunt, speaker; author, The Mind of Christ

"Christ had twelve disciples and only one of them showed up for the most important event in history. Yet seven women were there through every agonizing moment of the greatest story ever told. When Linda shared her notes with me a few years ago, I knew she had a great book in her. What a book it is!"--Anne Murchison, speaker; author, Milk for Babes
