The women of the Bible lived timeless stories--by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.

People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther's bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus' resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.

In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel's Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual's life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.

From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.

The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman's individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.

GOD CAN MEET YOUR NEEDS AS HE DID FOR WOMEN OF THE BIBLE

Women are central to some of the most critical events, powerful encounters, and transformative moments in the Bible. They change the course of history. These extraordinary women rose above because God was their refuge, and now you can join them.

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 God's 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 God's 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 son's 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 family--and how God's 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 God's 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. He's 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.

En general, las historias bíblicas protagonizadas por hombres se han utilizado frecuentemente, y por largo tiempo, como lecciones para las personas de fe. Es decir, aquellas que son sobre padres e hijos se han centrado, por lo mismo, en estas figuras. Sin embargo, las madres y las hijas de la Biblia tienen historias igualmente poderosas y perspicaces, por ejemplo, pensemos en la madre de Moisés, Jocabed, que asumió enormes riesgos para proteger a su hijo de los planes genocidas del faraón. Pero, también, está el caso de Rebeca, una madre que planea y conspira con deshonra para que su hijo Jacob prospere. Se trata de una mujer que actúa con favoritismo, que practica el engaño y que sacrificaría cualquier cosa por el futuro de su hijo.

Así, este libro destaca las lecciones que podemos extraer de Jocabed, Rebeca y otras mujeres de la Biblia mediante un acercamiento a relaciones puntuales entre madres e hijas, madres e hijos, e hijas y padres. Aunque, muy pocas de estas madres e hijas fueron modelos de virtud, se entienden hoy como seres humanos que flaquearon y lucharon por hacer lo mejor que podían a pesar de los fracasos. Algunas escucharon la voz de Dios, otras no lo hicieron. No obstante, en su imperfección, estas mujeres son modelos para nuestras vidas. Sus historias muestran que Dios nos habla no sólo a través de nuestras virtudes, sino también a través de nuestros errores.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

For mothers of faith who don't feel virtuous enough, people who feel burdened by their mistakes, and anyone who has ever failed, a powerful, reassuring book that examines how the women of the Bible coped with situations and problems similar to those experienced by women today and offers much-needed insights to help us better understand the lessons these Biblical lives hold for our own.

Biblical stories featuring men have long been used as lessons for people of faith. Biblical stories about parents and children have longer centered on fathers and sons. But the mothers and daughters of the Bible have stories that are just as powerful and insightful--such as Moses' mother, Jochebed, who takes enormous risks to protect her son from Pharaoh's genocidal plans. By contrast, Rebekah is a mother who dishonorably plans and schemes for her son Jacob's advancement. She plays favorites, practices deception, and will sacrifice anything for Jacob's future.

This book highlights the lessons we can draw from Jochebed, Rebekah, and other women of the Bible, examining the relationships of mothers and daughters, mothers and sons, and daughters and fathers. Very few of these mothers and daughters were paragons of virtue. They were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best, yet sometimes failed. While some heard God's voice, others could not. Yet in their imperfection, these women are models for our own lives. Their stories show us that God speaks to us not only through our virtues but through our mistakes as well.

EXPLORE THE INTIMATE CONNECTION BETWEEN FAITH AND FAMILY

God uses mothers and daughters in critical roles throughout the Old and New Testaments. They are often used to change the course of history, but more importantly, these female relationships and roles reveal a deeper depth of God's love for and faithfulness to each of us.

This workbook is based on the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak. In these nine lessons, you will consider the parallels between the relationships, experiences, and challenges of women in the Bible as mothers and daughters and your own. You'll reflect on how God focused on their faith and trust--and how He is doing the same with you.

Each lesson includes four components:

REFLECT invites you to read key moments of each woman's life in the Bible and connect with her story.

CONNECT asks you to consider how God in the Old Testament or Jesus in the New Testament responds to each woman and what this discloses about His character and how He responds to you.

REVEAL provides an opportunity to identify how God works through the woman's relationship, responses to God, and acts of faith, as well as your similar relationships, responses, and acts of faith.

PRAY asks you to prayerfully consider how the woman's story and how her relationship ties into the work God is doing in your life right now.

BONUS SECTIONS: MIRACLES where you'll be asked to consider the phenomenal eye witness accounts experienced by mothers and daughters and how those incredible events continue to impact your life today.

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 God's 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 God's 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.

And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.

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 God's 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. He's 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.

Whether it's her work today as a reporter and host for Fox News, her years in law school, or the time she spent competing in pageants like Miss America, Shannon Bream has spent her entire adult life navigating high-pressure environments where perfection is expected and competition is the name of the game. But in this laugh-out-loud book of stories and inspiration, Shannon shares the moments away from the cameras and the halls of government, in which she learned that the values and faith of her blue-collar upbringing could keep her grounded in a world where everyone wants you to be something other than who you are.

In Finding the Bright Side, Shannon continues a conversation about authenticity, humility, and trusting in God that she's already begun with her followers on social media. She shares behind-the-scenes stories from Washington, D.C., revelations from her time reporting on the Supreme Court, and lessons learned from the most challenging moments of her life--from the time she was fired from her first job and told, You're the worst person I've ever seen on TV, to the time she heard There is no cure. But through all of this, faith (and a little bit of stubbornness ) has helped Shannon to keep hope, find purpose in the pain, and find laughs along the way.

Praise for Finding the Bright Side
