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 Gods 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 Gods 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 sons 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 familyand how Gods 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 Gods 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. Hes 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.
