The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family-and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.
