Greatness in Lace


Book Description

Down through the pages of time, women have been part of the fabric and weaving of society's patterns. Some have made temporary inroads into the conscience of their culture, while others impacted lives for generations to come. Were some women born with a destiny they did not know? Did they help design their future or their degree of enduring personal significance? Were their unique threads interlaced, weaving a pattern of greatness? In her third book, Greatness In Lace, Molly Berwinkle examines these questions and more as she focuses on three eminent women and attempts to find a common thread visible throughout their lives of greatness. First, she turns the spotlight to Queen Victoria, studying this royal woman as she handles the pressure of power. Then, renowned author/speaker Corrie Ten Boom takes the stage before turning to Catherine Booth, who began a ministry that continues decades later.
