Guided by Grace: The Kathleen Mallory Story

Kathleen Mallory, the woman who led Woman's Missionary Union for a remarkable thirty-six years, was lovely, graceful and charming - the epitome of Southern graciousness. But it was the depth of her spiritual gifts that influenced a generation of women, and, indeed, the entire Southern Baptist Convention.

Deceptively dainty, never pushy yet amazingly resilient, she led WMU through two world wars and the Great Depression. With her incisive skill and tenacity, she led women to rescue the denomination's two mission boards from crushing debt. Over her tenure, Mallory came to be known among leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention as the "Tiny Dynamo."

Now, author Rosalie Hall Hunt, who previously introduced readers to the personal lives of missions trailblazers Ann Judson, Hephzibah Jenkins Townsend and Fannie Heck, offers up a captivating journey into the heart and mind of Kathleen Moore Mallory, a uniquely gifted woman of God.

Rosalie Hall Hunt makes history come alive - particularly the history of Baptist women whose legacies continue to make the world a better place. A sought-after speaker, Hunt is a retired Baptist missionary and has taught in Myanmar, South Asia, Australia, the Philippines, China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. She is a member of the board of directors of The Alabama Baptist and the National WMU Foundation. She has served as president of the Alabama Woman's Missionary Union and recording secretary of the national WMU. Hunt is the author of Out of Exile: Fannie Heck & the Rest of the Story, Bless God and Take Courage: The Judson History and Legacy, Her Way: The Remarkable Story of Hephzibah Jenkins Townsend, The Extraordinary Story of Ann Hasseltine Judson: A Life Beyond Boundaries, We've a Story to Tell: 125 Years of WMU, and other books and articles.
