By: Maxine Hancock | April 30, 2000

It is twenty-five years since my first book, Love, Honor and Be Free, was published by Moody Press.

By: Ginger O’Neil | April 30, 2000

In so many ways, my dad showed his love for me. Coming home from his weekly out-of-town business trips, he always had a surprise gift for me in his suitcase. His encouragement accepted no gender limits for me to achieve any goal I would seek as an adult.

By: Joe E. Trull | April 30, 2000

A much-debated issue in the nineties is the proper role of women in church and society. In this century, basic equality for women finally has been realized. A dramatic reversal also has occurred in society’s attitude toward the mistreatment of females. However, many voices are crying for greater liberation and justice for women.
