In urban America, the bush of Africa, the war zone of the Congo, and in closed nations there are women who are living outside their own cultures, society, and comfort level to care for orphans, build schools, liberate addicts, feed the poor, and love the broken. These ordinary women are reaching into hopeless situations of people and creating hope. A few of these women have names you may recognize, while many are mostly unknown.

In Hope Has a Name Heidi Baker, Amy Lancaster, Deena Van't Hul, Jessica Goodman, and Cassandra Lee take you on a candid and intimate journey into their worlds and lives as they make hope come alive—and with it the belief that we can all do something.
