The most dangerous of people are those that "count it all joy" by looking at the bigger picture with an unshakable belief that all will be well, no matter what things look like at this moment. They have come through the fire and the flood with this belief, or having learned it, and have survived - No, they have prospered. Now they spread the good word of such hope. This is what the author of A League of Dangerous Women wants us to know.

Groups of women have been dangerous in the past, among them the suffragettes of America's 19th and 20th centuries. They were abused by some men and women alike that opposed the female right to vote, as boldly depicted in the film Iron Jawed Angels. Just as disturbingly today, some women are abused in many more ways, starting as early as infancy when they may be molested, beaten, burned, neglected, starved, and abandoned as commodities, used up and thrown away. For this and other reasons of peer pressure, spousal abandonment and more, many American women fall victim to drug addiction, unwed pregnancy, homelessness, extreme poverty, prostitution, felony crime, and suicide.

With nothing left to lose, these women may come to Wellspring and its way station home, where the staff and residents demonstrate that God is still in the healing business. Any of the stories in A League of Dangerous Women could become an insightful and edifying film on its own. Together, they make a formidable organic team that cannot help but grow, prosper, and spread blessings.

These individuals progressed from broken vessels, to women dangerous to themselves and others, to heroes boldly dangerous for the Kingdom of God and His promises for healing, deliverance, and truth. They won't settle for less, and it's all real.

This book is for any woman aged middle school to senior citizen. I hope that women everywhere can become so dangerous.
