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.
