Civil Disobedience
As usual, Lynn Austin tells a good story. This follows four generations of women in one family. The first gets involved in the abolition movement during the Civil War. The second in Prohibition. The third, a suffragette. The fourth is in jail, remembering their stories, trying to understand how her desire to also do something heroic and memorable, has led to her running rum to help out her friends. It looks at civl disobedience and the motivation behind it. The woman involved in Prohibition realized that it didn't make a difference to merely make people conform to outward morality, without there being a change of heart. The most important thing was to share the gospel. God was better a changing hearts and then changing behaviour.
