Read more Blessed Among Women Much has been written about the Patriarchs that sired the family of God, but no man becomes a father alone. When Jesus was born, Mary was blessed among women. She stands in a long line of holy women who were called by God, answered his call, and prepared the world to welcome ImmanuelGod with usinto our midst. This book reflects on the lives of these Old Testament women who said yes to God's call and found their place in his plan of salvation. These are ordinary women with ordinary lives. Like you and me, they struggled with infertility or loss. They suffered; they longed for love. They stepped into the gap when men failed them; they worked to bring beauty from the ashes of their lives. How? In a word: faith. Our spiritual mothers help us to know what faith is and how to live it out as we too strive to hear God, say yes to his call, and bear him to the world. Just as God has used them as part of his plan, he can use us. Read more A Spiritual Pilgrimage through the Old Testament In Becoming Women of the Word, Sarah Christmyer embarks on a spiritual pilgrimage through the Old Testament, with each chapter focusing on one particular woman, and in one case, on two sisters. These are ordinary women with ordinary lives. They suffered, they longed for love. They stepped into the gap when men failed them; they worked to bring beauty from the ashes of their lives. Their experiences are still relevant today, despite the miles and years that would distance them. Christmyer introduces each Biblical woman with a related story from her own life, and in doing so provides a concrete connection to their witness. Questions for Reflection Include: Who has been your spiritual mother in your life? How did she pass her faith on to you? In what particular way is God calling you to leave something behind or trust him? In what way is God calling you to be a mother in Israel today? How has God called you to put his kingdom first today?
