Book Description
Frances Warde: The Footsteps of Mercy By: Ulana M. Bochan Ulana M. Bochan’s Frances Warde: The Footsteps of Mercy adds a new dimension to her two previous books, Living with Catherine McAuley and Walk the Seasons With Mercy. It explores the life of Frances Warde, whose earthly footsteps of Mercy imprinted values of faith, humility, compassion, and unconditional love. With an unwavering commitment of “yes” to God, Frances was able to overcome the most challenging circumstances of life. Heroic and selfless, she went to wherever she was called. She accepted the spiritual call to leave her homeland to help establish the first Mercy schools in the United States. Her pioneering spirit and natural gift for teaching others resulted in the spread of Mercy schools in this new land. Frances, guided by the call of the spirit to minister to all in need, made Mercy her spiritual quest, her defined existence. Frances Warde’s life attests to what one person is capable of achieving when Mercy is actively lodged in the heart. (Appendix offers suggestions for incorporating Frances Warde: The Footsteps of Mercy in the classroom, groups, or individual meditation.)

Book Description
This two-volume set examines women's contributions to religious and moral development in America, covering individual women, their faith-related organizations, and women's roles and experiences in the broader social and cultural contexts of their times. This second edition of Encyclopedia of American Women and Religion provides updated and expanded information from historians and other scholars of religion, covering new issues in religion to better describe and document women's roles within religious groups. For instance, the term "evangelical feminism" is one newly defined aspect of women's involvement in religious activism. Changes are constantly occurring within the many religious faiths and denominations in America, particularly as women strive to gain positions within religious hierarchies that previously were exclusive to men and rise within their denominations to become theologians, church leaders, and bishops. The entries examine the roles that American women have played in mainstream religious denominations, small religious sects, and non-traditional practices such as witchcraft, as well as in groups that question religious beliefs, including agnostics and atheists. A section containing primary documents gives readers a firsthand look at matters of concern to religious women and their organizations. Many of these documents are the writings of women who merit entries within the encyclopedia. Readers will gain an awareness of women's contributions to religious culture in America, from the colonial era to the present day, and better understand the many challenges that women have faced to achieve success in their religion-related endeavors.
