Book excerpt: "Since Wesleyan Holiness and Pentecostalism are the foundations of my faith journey, I set out to put together the 'great cloud of [women] witnesses' (Heb 12:1) from these two faith traditions who founded Christian colleges. ... Even if manyof the Christian higher education that these women founded no longer exist, or have been merged into other institutions, it is of paramount importance to honor their life journeys in the service of God."--Author's preface.
