A Passion for the Impossible: The Life of Lilias Trotter
By Miriam Huffman Rockness
This captivating book tells the story of Lilias Trotter, the woman who's faith and devotion to the Gospel message inspired the hymn "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus." She left her life of privilege, an upper-class Victorian home in England and her promising art career to settle in hostile Algeria. Because she was a woman, she was dismissed and falsely accused of spying. Despite a serious, life-long illness, Trotter would not quit. Her faith in God and her desire to share the Gospel message fueled her incredible drive. A Passion for the Impossible offers a glimpse at the miraculous ways the Lord used Lillias Trotter to pierce the shadows of that Islamic landscape. 368 pages, Discovery House Publishers, 2003.

The Power of Woman:
The Life and Writings of Sarah Moore Grimke
By Pamela Durso
Sarah Moore Grimke (1792–1873) was a spokeswoman for and a leader in the abolition movement, but perhaps her greatest contribution was as an advocate of women’s rights. Her beliefs are set forth in her Letters on the Equality of the Sexes (1838). In this collection of letters, she implemented a new hermeneutic to interpret biblical verses traditionally considered to subject women to men. This is indispensable reading for those interested in women’s studies, racism, suffrage history, and religious history. 192 pages, Mercer University Press, 2003.

Reimagining the Human: Theological Anthropology in Response to Systemic Evil
By Eleazar S. Fernandez
Exploring theological anthropology—the doctrine of what it means to be human and to be created in God’s image—Fernandez argues that our life in the image of God is damaged and frustrated by the systemic evils of society, particularly classism, racism and sexism. At the heart of these four evils are matters of faith and idolatry, idols that demand the sacrifice of our souls, bodies, time, and anything that we cherish most. In response, Fernandez constructs an alternative anthropology that is nonanthropocentric.
