About this ebook

Women in the Bible aren't shy or retiring; they're fierce and funny and demanding and relevant to 21st-century people.

Pastor and provocateur Alice Connor introduces these women and invites us to see them not as players in a mans storyas victims or temptersnor as morality archetypes, teaching us to be better wives and mothers, but as fierce foremothers of the faith.
