Soul Sisters: Women in Scripture Speak to Women Today

Author: Edwina Gateley

“When I first saw Louis Glanzman’s paintings of twelve women in the gospels whose names are so familiar, something happened inside me….The faces rose form the prints and spoke to me. After a lifetime of knowing all about these women I felt, at last, that I had actually met them. Indeed I had. They were people I already knew: homemakers, sex workers, child runaways, crones, teachers, mothers, senior citizens…all of them knew Jesus. All of them were archetypes who reflected the journeys, struggles, joys, and dreams of women today. I knew at once: I had to do this book.” – Edwina Gateley
