Women of the Faith: Esther Ahn Kim and Charlotte Forten Grimke

In this week’s episode, we are talking with Catherine Parks about two extraordinary women who you might not be very familiar with: Esther Ahn Kim and Charlotte Forten Grimke. Catherine describes these women as going about their daily lives “with resolve to do all they could to honor God and serve their fellow man. And it was this daily obedience that God used to give them both the opportunity and the strength to stand for justice and serve other people faithfully.”

Catherine Parks is the author of several books, including two middle-grade biography collections, Strong and Empowered. She also serves as an acquisitions editor for Moody Publishers. Catherine and her husband, Erik, live in the Nashville, TN area with their children, Sophie and Micah. In her free time, she loves hiking, playing volleyball, and serving on her church's worship team.
