O knihe

Janet Atwood was born in the West-Midlands of England and immigrated to Canada as a young woman in 1960 to work as an X-ray technician. While working in a cottage hospital in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, she fell in love with a young engineer with whom she discovered a deep love for Christ, and her new Faith led to a lifetime of Christian ministry. In an era when women were discouraged from leadership roles, Janet became a spiritual leader in the Canadian Baptist denomination and inter-faith communities. She visited an active war zone in Nicaragua to witness for peace, presented a Christian perspective to Canada's Royal Commission on Reproductive Technologies, advocated for Canadian pastors to address family violence, and carried her Faith around the world. The story of an ordinary Christian whom God has led to have an extraordinary impact on individual lives and on Baptist life in Canada, Janet Atwood's autobiography is a candid and personal journey of pioneering female leadership and a lifelong love, and it is a call to an active life of Faith.
