But there hasn't been until now a single, thorough study on her life and thought. Michael Haykin has remedied this lack. An experienced historian and engaging storyteller, he eschews hagiography to reveal the fascinating complexity of Brilliana's life and times. A seasoned believer, he highlights the vibrant, experiential faith that permeates Brilliana's writings and gently points the reader to the source of her joy, comfort and strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSimonetta Carr\u003c\/strong\u003e, Author of several books, including \u003cem\u003eQuestions Women Asked: Historical Issues, Timeless Answers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCover: Softcover\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages: 148\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Heritage Seminary Press\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haykin, Michael A.G.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45551888433393,"sku":"9781774841525","price":19.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/8731\/8425\/files\/Book_Cover_Image_2_bf2aadec-1481-43c2-9ec7-38d79281a524.png?v=1791918341"}],"url":"https:\/\/reformedbookservices.com\/collections\/books-by-michael-a-g-haykin.oembed","provider":"Reformed Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
