Melanie Dobson on Grace Livingston Hill Part 1

Melanie is the award-winning author of thirty historical, time-slip, and romantic suspense novels. She received her undergraduate degree in journalism from Liberty University and her master’s degree in communication from Regent University. Melanie explored the life of Grace Livingston Hill and visited her home while researching for her newest novel. Melanie and her husband live in the Pacific Northwest where Jon works at BibleProject. They have two daughters. www.melaniedobson.com Grace Livingston Hill is considered the creator of the modern Christian romance novel. She was born in Wellsville, New York. Her father was a Presbyterian minister, and both he and Grace's mother were writers. Grace’s first book was published when she was just twelve years old. After the death of her first husband, Grace was left with two small children and no income. When her father died less than a year later, her mother came to live with her. This prompted Grace to begin writing two to three books a year in order to support her family. She traveled around the country speaking and founded a Sunday School Mission. She partnered with Evangeline Booth to write a nonfiction book on the Salvation Army. In addition, she wrote hundreds of short stories, poetry, composed lyrics for hymns and a choir cantata, and even wrote a syndicated weekly column for a newspaper. Grace passed away in 1947, but her books continue to delight readers today. www.gracelivingstonhill.com

Michelle Ule on Pandita Ramabai Part 3

A brilliant Sanskrit scholar, Ramabai Donge earned the title "Pandita" as a twenty-year-old orphaned woman in 1878 India. Determined to follow in her Hindu father's belief that women could be scholars, Ramabai used her fame to argue for the education of women. along with the need for female physicians. Widowed four years later with a baby, she met Christians who introduced her to the Bible, encouraged her to speak about women's needs, and helped her to travel to England. Baptized in England, Pandita Ramabai received university training with the aim of advancing Indian women's opportunities. Traveling to America, she visited educational models, particularly kindergartens, and returned to India to open a school for child widows, needy women, and orphans. During this time, she wrote Testimony, which confirmed her Christian beliefs and joy that Jesus loved women just as much as men. Within a few years, her school grew, and she established the Mukti Mission outside of Bombay, where the mission provided education, vocational training, and a profound Christian witness. As famine swept India in the early 20th century, Ramabai ultimately collected nearly 3000 needy women and children to the mission--which is still helping educate needy women and children today. Pandita Ramabai sparked a Christian revival in 1905 and spent the last fifteen years of her life translating the entire Bible into the Marathi language--one of the major Indian dialects. She died in 1922. The Indian government honored her contribution to the education of women in 1984 with a postage stamp.

episode Jamell Meeks Part 2 artwork
Jamell Meeks Part 2

Jamell is one of the most fascinating guests that I have ever had the pleasure to interview on Women Worth Knowing. Jamell grew up in the ghetto of Chicago not knowing it was the ghetto. She had good parents and a strong since of family, however, there was an emptiness that she felt. Going to church with a friend when she was sixteen, Jamell realized that the answer to her emptiness was the fullness of God. She gave her life to Jesus Christ that first Sunday at church and never looked back! The very next week she was baptized and met James Meeks, a sassy, handsome sixteen years old that immediately asked the newly baptized Jamell out. On one of their first dates, James confessed to Jamell that he and his whole life were fully dedicated to the service of Jesus Christ. Rather than scaring Jamell off, Jame’s confession drew her in. They both committed their lives to the service of Jesus and then to each other. Engagingly, Jamell shares with me how she and James were led to start Salem Baptist Church of Chicago in the midst of the ghetto. Hear the stories of what God has done with their lives and in the lives of others. If you’re needing to hear about the wonders God is doing today, then you won’t want to miss either episode with Jamell.
