Her Calling, Our Legacy

by Judy Douglass, Carolyn West

Discover the lives of 15 Cru staff women as they walked with God and took huge steps of faith to change the world through Campus Crusade for Christ. Be inspired as you travel through fierce storms, persecuted countries, daring helicopter rides, and flooding canyons with them and see God’s hand at work.

This book tells the stories of women who were pioneers-in starting ministries, opening countries, and taking leadership. You’ll get to know the women better, see Cru in its beginning stages, and be inspired by God’s work in and through their lives to come help change the world!

About the author

A few random realities:

I love Jesus, my family, Texas, words, books, horses, Mexican food–and quite a few other things

I am married to a wonderful man and have three delightful children and nine superb grandchildren. My friends so fill my cup that I am drinking from the saucer.

I am a writer, speaker, missionary. Most of all I am an encourager–urging everyone I encounter to know God and to entrust their lives to him for all He wants them to be and all He has prepared for them to do. I get to go all over the world to do this loving and encouraging–what an incredible “job.”

I’ve written a few books, edited a couple of magazines, helped found Synergy Women’s Network and served on the Synergy Board and the Redbud Writers Guild Board. My earliest books are on Goodreads under Judy Downs Douglass.

I am amazingly blessed, totally inadequate, woefully unworthy and eternally grateful for the grace and mercy of God.

Reviews

[Brian Barnett · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am soo deeply encouraged by these stories! Each story is inspiring my walk with God and equipping me for (another) year of ministry. I love the legacy of faith that is being departed into me from these women’s lives. I will be sharing this book with as many people as possible!
