Baptist Girls' School, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta, is a training ground for Godly mothers, grandmothers, and great grandmothers who have produced outstanding Godly men and women, who have contributed enormously to the positive development of the nation of Nigeria. How did this institution achieve such an enviable objective? The foundation of any nation depends on the strength of the home that produces its citizens. The structure of any nation, however strong, will sooner or later, or sooner than later collapse and disintegrate if the foundation is weak. This is what Abraham Lincoln had in mind when he said, "The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world." These words resonate through the ages.

The diverse Baptist movement goes back to the separatist wing of English puritanism. The book first describes the history and missionary expansion of this movement. It then lays out its teachings on baptism, eucharist, and ministry, its commitment to religious liberty and human rights, its socio-political involvement as well as the role of women in the church. Finally, exemplary details of Baptist existence in the local congregations and Unions/Conventions from around the world provide insight into the colorful life, work, order, and faith of a global people, held loosely together by its World Alliance. All thirty essays are written by experts in their fields from all continents.
