"Women at the Cross", Will bring you to tears and bring you to your knees.

Linda Lesniewski is a brilliant writer. She takes you on an incredible journey through the heart and emotions of the seven women who witnessed Calvary. Mary the Mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Salome, Joanna, Susanna, Mary the wife of Clopas and Mary's sisters. These seven beautiful daughters laid down their own emotions and fears to serve their Lord until the very end.

"Christ hung dying. The women, deserted by the very one who filled the empty places in their hearts, felt abandoned, deserted, forsaken-numb. They had listened and learned at his feet. They had walked and talked together, mile after mile, day after day. They shared meals, laughter and tears".

"Everything familiar had vanished, including the disciples' voices. Even their future seemed empty, and their hearts weighted down with feelings of desertion and rejection. Where do you go and what do you do when the one you know and love leaves you through death?" Chapter 4, pages 41-42

This book is a powerful reminder of the power of the cross and its power to radically transform lives and hearts.

"Women at the Cross" Is a beautiful celebration of the power of being a woman.

"So, stand as the women at the cross did among the pain and confusion. Remain Steadfast and stand" Chapter 4, page 43
