Female voices of the Bible have been silenced throughout much of history. What would it be like to get to know the women of the Bible as real, living figures whose lives can challenge our own? What can we learn from their faith journeys? What would it be like to pray alongside them? Two lively spiritual directors take us into the world of the women of the Bible. Provoked by the desperation of the Canaanite woman, empowered by Mary's fiat, affirmed by the loyalty of Mary Magdalene and challenged by Ruth's fidelity, Doucet and Hebert enter into a new sisterhood with these active and contemplative holy women who emerge out of history. All of the stories link these holy women from the past with contemporary women, all of them longing after God's own heart.
The reflections within this collection highlight the journeys of women, emphasizing the strength found in community and shared experiences. Contributors explore themes of healing, love, and the power of hope and dreams, encouraging readers to engage in self-discovery through their heartfelt narratives. Each piece invites contemplation and connection, illustrating how shared thoughts can lead to deeper understanding and upliftment.
