10 Women Who Changed the World is seminary president Daniel L. Akin’s powerful tribute to the transformational work done by some truly inspiring female Christian missionaries. With each profile, he journeys into the heart of that gospel servant’s mission-minded story and makes a compelling connection to a similar account from the Bible. By reading each missionary story, and how each woman embodies a certain passage of Scripture, prepare to be challenged and inspired to follow in their footsteps—because intentionally living on mission isn’t something reserved for heroes of the past. It’s something each one of us can pursue in everyday life! Women featured in this book:  Sarah Hall Boardman Judson (and how she embodies Psalm 138)  Eleanor Chesnut (and how she embodies John 13:34–35)  Ann Hasseltine Judson (and how she embodies Psalm 142)  Harriet Newell (and how she embodies Psalm 116)  Darlene Deibler Rose (and how she embodies Psalm 27)  Betsey Stockton (and how she embodies 1 Corinthians 7:17–24)  Bertha Smith (and how she embodies Galatians 2:20)  Charlotte Atlee White Rowe (and how she embodies 1 Corinthians 9:19, 22-23)  Yvette Aarons (how she embodies Proverbs 3:5-8)  Lilias Trotter (and how she embodies 2 Corinthians 12:7-10) Daniel L. Akin is the president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina.
