Product Details
The women God called to bring his chosen people into the world were ordinary women who struggled with emptiness, oppression, infertility, and loss. Sarah Christmyer’s Becoming Women of the Word explores how they found strength and hope in God. Becoming Women of the Word pairs the stories of key Old Testament women with stories of women she has known to show us how we can hear God, say yes to his call, and share him with the world just as they did. Sarah Christmyer breathes new life into their stories and makes their lives surprisingly relatable. In the process and Becoming Women of the Word shares stories from Christmyer’s own faith journey and the lives of family and friends to show how the same principles that turned ordinary women into heroines of the faith are true for our lives today.
Each chapter of Becoming Women of the Word highlights the spiritual legacy of one or more women in the Old Testament. Their world was vastly different from ours, yet they faced the same questions we do: when we can’t feel God’s presence, where do we find help? When our world is collapsing, where is God? Why should we trust him? How can we trust him? Becoming Women of the Word simply and clearly draws from the lives of these women important principles that help us to trust—even as we struggle with doubt. For example:
- Through Eve, we learn to hold on to God’s promise even when we fail.
- Sarah reminds us to wait on God’s timing to make us fruitful.
- Miriam, the sister of Moses, shows how to lead by example.
- Ruth and Esther challenge us to see womanhood as a gift.
- Hannah and Judith inspire us to trust God even in matters of life and death.
These unforgettable portraits in Becoming Women of the Word create a colorful mosaic of faith, encouraging us to mine God’s Word for spiritual treasure and to pass on the gift.
