The Reformation was not merely about reclaiming biblical ideas of faith. It was a movement of action. As reformers spread the gospel, they sought to address abuses of power, defend the persecuted, shelter those fleeing oppression and show the love of God in other practical ways.

Like a Mighty Stream: Trailblazing Women of the Reformation
The 20 trailblazing women in this book changed their communities—and, at times, the course of history.
In this book, you will meet:
Anne of Bohemia, who advocated before the king for Wycliffe
Renée of Ferrara, whose courts were a refuge for the fleeing Calvin
Ursula Cotta, who provided a home for the boy Luther
and many more.
These women were writers, advocates, educators, carers, and nurses, pioneering paths of righteousness for others to follow. As you read their stories, you will be inspired to let your own faith move us to action—and let justice flow like a mighty stream.
