"Ruth Bryan's letters are remarkably like Samuel Rutherford's, closely resembling them in most winning, unwearied, and gloriously endless eulogy of the King in His beauty. They are admirably fitted to allure believers into a nearer fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Many who are already standing within holy ground, but only in the Court of the Gentiles, may be drawn by them to desire a place in the inner sanctuary of Israel, of the peculiar people, of the kingdom of priests; for they are calculated in no ordinary manner to humble, to elevate, to refresh and enliven the reader.

Many have been blessed by the letters of Ruth Bryan, for she continually pointed people back to Christ. Here in her diary, one sees that same dedication as she continually points her own heart back to Jesus. Scattered throughout her entries, she likens herself to her biblical namesake, Ruth the Moabitess. Ruth Bryan reckons herself a meager gleaner in the fields of the gracious, loving, and greater Boaz, Jesus Christ. Observing the inner life of Ruth Bryan is a reminder to all believers of the boundless mercies of Christ, for what are we that such “handfuls of purpose” should be dropped for us? These nineteenth-century letters are a rich treasury of mature, experiential, and practical divinity that still meets the needs of believers today. Would you like guidance in learning how to live more closely to Christ, how to walk more by faith in adversity, and how to lay hold of God in prayer? Read this book prayerfully, preferably as a daily devotional, and let Ruth Bryan be your spiritual mentor.

Ruth Bryan Owen was endowed with intelligence, beauty, charm, and tremendous physical energy, and she knew how to use them all. Together with a burning ambition and a drive toward center stage, these qualities fueled a career that was a remarkable one for her time and place. She was the eldest daughter of William Jennings Bryan, who was Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson and three-time nominee of the Democratic Party to be President of the United States. Gifted with her father's oratorical skills and the exceptional talent needed for public life, she was the first woman elected to the House of Representatives from the Old South. She subsequently spent four years as minister to Denmark, the first woman to fill such a post in the history of the U.S. diplomatic corps. She was also the first woman on the popular Chautauqua lecture circuit to receive pay equal to men’s. This attentive and loving memoir, written by her youngest daughter, provides an intimate portrait of a remarkable woman who became a genuine celebrity during the 1920s and 1930s, when the cult of celebrity was just taking shape. She lived an active life of public speaking and international government service, published several books, and taught college classes, all the while raising her children and providing support for them and her invalid husband. Long before Second Wave Feminism, she was an icon of women’s capacity to manage both a public and a private life. Her life story encompassed two world wars, the presidencies of Harry S. Truman and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and involved such public figures as Fannie Hurst, Sam Rayburn, and William Randolph Hearst. Yet at the peak of her career, seeking relief from the strains of public life, she made the mistake of marrying a man who put an end to her diplomatic and political life. A woman of substance, Ruth Bryan Owen played an important role in American politics in an age when such involvement was rare, and thus serves as an early figure in the history of American feminism. But above all, the book reveals the private life of a very human woman, with rich and sometimes difficult relationships, who struggled to balance her personal needs to be loved and cared for with her desire to make the world a better and fairer place for all.
