For Hungry River ~

Like Millie, I too am the child of missionaries to China, and we escaped the Chinese Communists by traveling down the Yangtze River in 1950. Even though I was four years old, I still have memories of the men pushing on long oars at the front and back of our san-pan. I remember sitting on the roof of the motor launch as we traveled turbulent water between the high cliffs of the Three Gorges. For me, this book resurrects details of a river and the people along it. It awakens memories of great loss, great sacrifice and great happiness.

For Women of the Last Supper ~

This book brought a new awareness to me. Women. At the last supper? I had never considered this concept before; however, what a natural phenomenon it would be for women to be present, as they were at the events surrounding the Resurection. Millie has enlightened me about a group of women close to Jesus.
Her style is engaging, her research is impressive, and the book offers a multiplicity for use--on a personal basis, as a group study, or, each story stands on its own as an individual piece. What a powerful message for any season, but certainly pertinent during Lent.

For Men and Women of the Last Supper ~

Before I got the book, I had seen a couple of the monologs presented and they were powerful.This book reminds us that Jesus' followers were not all men, and the author paints a realistic picture of each woman along with the men. She did her homework in the research department, yet gives us facts in an interesting and thoughtful way.
The book is ideal for church gatherings, study groups, and private meditation. It is also a great place to begin thinking about the roles women played in the beginning of Christianity.
