Having just completed her Masters of Arts in Christian Education, the author has spent the past four years studying as one of only of handful of female students in a predominantly male student body. As a wife, mother, teacher, blogger and minister's wife, she brings an unique vantage point to this little book of history - a conservative, feminine perspective.
