The title of this book tells the story. Winifred Booth, Ruth

Morling and Olive Elliott had all experienced the grace

of God themselves, had been refined by that grace, and

then were moved to speak to the women of India of the

grace of God in the gift of Jesus.

They were also women of guts, who around a hundred

years ago had the courage to leave all that was familiar

to them and to travel thousands of miles by sea to a

place of which they knew little. There, while contending

with the harsh climate and new illnesses, they committed

to learning Tamil, one of the most complex of languages.

They were motivated by a love for the women of India

who were living under the dark and heavy rule of religion

and the Zenana culture, whose lives were hard and who

had no hope. These women of grace and guts sought to

take to them the true hope found only in Jesus.

Here is an absorbing account, well worth the telling, of

how a handful of courageous women dared to take on

a work which only women could do
