Synopsis

This book of poems tells the story of the many women in the Bible who served God, his people, and their families in ways we often overlook in our male-focused approach to the Scriptures. They were wives and warriors; they led armies into war and into peace; they brought prosperity to their homes and deliverance to their nations; they prayed against all odds and prevailed; and those who knew Jesus reached out to him in culture-defying ways. They were specially chosen by God to fulfill his redemptive plan for humankind.
