In A Mirror Dimly
$17.99
“They led me from our camp, and I turned once more to look at Abraham. What did I see in his eyes?… One thing I knew, I loved Abraham. Resigned, I turned toward my inevitable fate. The promise of Abraham’s God was not for me.”
Sarah
“It was an irretrievable moment. We all knew it. Isaac and I had, in a sense lost both our sons… Esau and Jacob had lost a father and mother and brother … and something had gone out of my relationship with Isaac that could not be restored. How could the broken pieces of our lives ever be put back together?”
Rebekah
“My father’s deception and my physical beauty were factors in my life before I was old enough to assimilate them… These two ingredients were a deadly concoction in my life. No doubt, beauty brought me many advantages … but I would learn that beauty could not give me everything I wanted.”
Rachel
“In spite of the way Jacob treated me, I still loved him … I was willing to love, even if I was not loved in return. I asked myself why . . . that realization was the first whisper of a love that was not based on the worthiness of the one loved.”

Mothers And Daughters Of The Bible Speak
$26.99Add to cartGod always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect….
“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.
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. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.
The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.
