Description
IIf you have ever experienced deep disappointments or felt at the brink of despair you are not alone. Even in Biblical times, people in the Scriptures faced insurmountable challenges. Stubborn Hope: Fresh Inspiration from Ancient Women, offers a look into the lives of women in the Bible who in the midst of their suffering all shared one thing in common: God's stubborn hope. These represent ordinary women who encountered God's grace and power, women who not only were transformed by hope, but also offered it to others. Along with the narratives of these women, Dr. Janet Creps shares her own personal journey of a search for hope after a season of disappointments in her own life. We can learn a wealth of insight from the lives of remarkable women like Ruth, Sarah, Anna, Lydia and even the anonymous women who Jesus touched, This book offers a powerful opportunity not only to step back in time and walk into their lives, but also to apply the truth of Jesus' love for us, who is ever present to bring us out of despair into the joy of his presence.
