Publisher's summary

Life is full of twists and turns. Relationships falter, careers fizzle, health fades. We may be faced with choices we never wanted to make or have situations pushed upon us we'd never expected. Yet, in all of it, God is at our side - even when he feels far away.

Drawing on her extensive research into women of the Old Testament, novelist Jill Eileen Smith turns her pen to the lessons in trusting God that we can learn today from women like:

  • Eve
  • Noah's wife
  • Sarai
  • Hagar
  • Lot's wife
  • Rebekah
  • Rachel
  • And more

Listeners will learn from what these ancient women did right - and even what they did wrong - when faced with dashed expectations and deferred dreams. And they'll come away with the confidence that ours is a faithful God who loves us and is forming us through our trials into the women he longs for us to be.
