The wise insights of deeply spiritual women thread through the
tapestry of our Christian heritage, but have been largely ignored---until
now. An intriguing look at committed women of the past, Forbes's
historical and literary survey presents inspiring stories of writers
whose words have quietly shaped our faith and brought us closer to
God.

For hundreds of years, people have been drawn to daily devotionals.
They hunger for nuggets of wisdom, words quickly eaten and digested,
with a high return of theological nutrition for the time invested.
Devotional writers, such as Mrs. Charles E. Cowman, experienced
enormous publishing success, with classics such as Streams in the
Desert exerting a quiet yet significant cultural influence. Despite their
enormous contributions to the formation of a still-popular genre,
women of devotion have been ignored by historians-until now.

Fascinated and disturbed by the invisibility of women devotional
writers, Cheryl Forbes brings to light for the first time the stories of the
writers whose words still have such inestimable influence. She links
the devotional daybook to the past-to writers such as Teresa of Avila-
and to the present, where a secularized devotional such as Simple
Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach rules the best-seller lists.

Women of Devotion is a critical and literary history, a commentary on
the culture of the time, and a critique of our own reading habits. Most
of all, it is an inspiring look at committed women of the past whose
work continues to challenge us today.
