An Odd Cross to Bear

History & Biography

“Anne Blue Wills has written a fascinating account of the life and influence of Ruth Bell Graham. This book not only tells the story of this remarkable woman who, as a missionary kid, poet, author, and homemaker, helped make the Graham name a powerful force within evangelicalism. It also succeeds, with nuanced argumentation and sparkling prose, in showing the complex negotiations of evangelical womanhood in its private and public forms. This is a superb book that should be read widely.”
