Publisher's summary

God 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.

Like walking through the Word

I enjoyed this book tremendously! I am a Christian songwriter and poet and Shannon Bream reflected on many of the passionate stories I write about. Her unique style and way of viewing the situations of each story made it easy to connect the dots. Women of the Bible had a purpose and Women of creation today have a purpose. We need the Lord's guidance to help us walk out that purpose and not be sidetracked by people who don't know or fear God.

Thank you Shannon Bream, keep blessing us with your God given wisdom. We love you! The Henderson's

I loved how this book visited the mothers and daughters of the Bible. It was a great read. very nice to listen to these beautiful recaps of history. the way Shannon described and analyzed Naomi's and Ruth's part in the Bible was inspiring. what great women we have to look up to. this was a perfect mother's day gift.

Wonderfully written book flavored with the Word of God

This was well written. I loved the perspective you brought to each character. Even allowing for seeing many in a different light like Bathsheba the mother of the wises man. And so many others. Congratulations. I will listen to this book again on audible. And I shared it with my book club team to add tot the list of books for us to study. Once we do that we would love to have a final reading with the author. Continue to write these words of truth and inspire us to be the light that will lead them to our savior. LadyDionne
