ABOUT

Readers will find a more intimate portrait of Eddy than appears in a typical biography, including glimpses into her daily life, relationships, and the spiritual strength and personal sacrifice that underpinned her accomplishments.
Each author in this volume shares unique and inspiring accounts that often reveal their commitment, dedication, and steadfast Christianity.
This expanded edition has 40% more material than previous editions, including four additional accounts.
