"An oft-repeated folklore tells us that Phineas Bresee, one of [our] main denominational founders, was fond of saying, 'some of our best 'men' are women!"Who were these women? Rebecca Laird offers a fascinating historical glimpse at 12 pioneer women ministers who helped shape the Church of the Nazarene, including Lucy Pierece Knott, Mary Lee Harris Cagle, Olive M. Winchester, Frances Rye McClurkan, and Susan Norris Fitkin. These women's lives and ministries step from the pages of the early 20th century and speak to us today with significant questions past and present.
