Twelve women, Twelve stories. Twelve different responses to God's call to let fairness become their standard for every human encounter and to love, absolutely, fully, and intentionally love to show the true character of God by being merciful, when it is undeserved, or in the midst of hatred, obstacles, or political opposition. In this anthology twelve women boldly declare the start, but not the finish of their embracing 'chesed' - the Hebrew word for kindness or love between people.
