What do you do when you are feeling called to a task much bigger than you? How do you respond when you sense God is asking you to pursue a particular vocation, and yet others around you are discouraging you from such a pursuit–because you’re a woman? Where can you turn for empowering confidence?
The voices of biblical women reveal the keys to resilient confidence you need to fulfill your unique purpose. Each of the 13 women presented in this book was chosen by God–instead of a man–to be the first person in Scripture to experience God in a new way, to express a new truth about God, or to proclaim a new message from God.
As our world spirals with continued consequences of women being treated as “less-than,” these real women will teach you how to exhibit faithfulness, wisdom, courage, and leadership against the odds. See these biblical women’s stories come to life in the context of world history and renew your confidence in your equal status with men as God’s image-bearer capable of fulfilling God’s call on your life.
Hear afresh the voices of Eve, Hagar, Miriam, Deborah, Hannah, Huldah, Elizabeth, Mary of Nazareth, Anna, the Woman at the Well, Martha, Mary Magdalene, and Lydia. Their stories offer the keys to resilient confidence!
Here are just a few of the history-making firsts for which God chose women:
- To encounter the angel of the LORD
- To give God a name
- To authenticate Scripture
- To confirm the coming birth of the Messiah
- To voice a public messianic confession
- To encounter the Risen Christ and to announce the Resurrection—the foundational truth of the Christian faith!
- And more!

The Essential Questions for Growing a Women’s Ministry
The Essential Questions for Evaluating a Women’s Ministry
These three workbooks provide a coaching approach which will guide you and your leadership team through a set of questions to help you discover the unique ministry God has for you and your church–and how not to try to carbon copy someone else’s ministry. Based on Jesus’ Model for Ministry as presented in the gospel of Matthew, this biblically based approach will help you see where your women’s ministry is already making a difference in women’s lives and what the next steps may be for you to reach even more women with the Good News of how Jesus wants to forgive, love and empower women to be all God intended for them to be.
