Resilience. Perseverance. Obedience. Faith. These are just a few qualities that the leading ladies of the Bible exhibited as they navigated through the earliest days of humanity. These same qualities are found in many of the women I know, perhaps even the woman holding this book: women who overcome tremendous hardship and disappointment, and women who pioneer and go where no man (or woman) has gone before! We look at the Bible's leading ladies and study their character, their circumstances and their relationship with God. These ladies tell us more than a good story. They teach us about the essence of womanhood. Their relationship struggles and triumphs mirror our own. We see ourselves in their stories as they overcome crises of faith, financial hardship, infertility, broken hearts and broken dreams.While I ran in the spring of 2013, God brought these women to life for me. I pray you will come to know them and love them as much as I have. Meet yourself on these pages as you go on a magnificent journey to Discover Yourself in the Women of the Bible.
