For June the Catholic Book Club, which meets the first Monday of the month from 6:45pm-8:00pm in the DAC, will begin reading/discussing Hearts of Fire, true stories of Christian women who were persecuted for their faith. If you would like to join us, please contact Theresa Shaw at 812-944-8283 x5 or tshaw@holyfamilynewalbany.org by April 19 for the group book order. Individual cost is $11.50.
Read the gripping stories of eight women from eight different countries who shared similar experiences of hardship and persecution, all for their faith in Christ. Yet they all emerged from adversity as heroines.
From the young Vietnamese girl who turned down freedom in order to share the gospel in her Communist homeland, to the Australian missionary who spread the message of forgiveness and healing across India after her husband and sons were burned alive, these women overcame extreme adversity to become leaders and ministers of the underground church in Pakistan, India, Romania, the former Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, Nepal and Indonesia.
