Brave
Women of the Bible and Their Stories of Grief, Mercy, Folly, Joy, Sex, and Redemption
English
40 b
Women are essential to the biblical story--they bear life, lead communities, and testify to Gods power and presence. Some of their names we know, others weve only heard, and others, tragically, go unnamed.Following the success of her beloved book Fierce, pastor and provocateur Alice Connor introduces us to a whole new group of women from the Bible, including Rachel, Leah, Miriam, Esther, and Lydia. Connor invites us to see them not as players in a mans story--as victims or tempters--nor as solely morality archetypes who teach women to be better wives and mothers--but as brave foremothers of the faith. Skillfully drawn by the author, these womens stories are messy, challenging, and beautiful. When we read their stories, we can see not only their particular, formidable lives but also our own.
