10 Women Who Changed the World is seminary president Daniel L. Akin's powerful tribute to the transformational work done by some truly inspiring female Christian missionaries.

By reading each missionary story, and how each woman embodies a certain passage of Scripture, prepare to be challenged and inspired to follow in their footsteps--because intentionally living on mission isn't something reserved for heroes of the past. It's something each one of us can pursue in everyday life!
