Daughters of God: Scriptural Portraits

Explore the lives of the great women in the scriptures

Why was Deborah called upon to save her people? How did Priscilla and Claudia help with spreading the gospel? The scriptures are filled with the stories of women, spiritual giants who played vital roles in sacred events, and everyday women who quietly helped to change their world for the better. Because the record of their lives is often sketchy, we may not realize how important they are. This book shares the inspiring stories of the women who have played key roles in spiritual and historical events – Eve, Rebekah, Ether, Mary, Dorcas, Sariah, Emma Smith – and many others.
