"We wrote this book to explore the role of women in the Bible for our granddaughters. We wanted them to know the stories of God's faithfulness to these women and their children and the generations that followed. Our own mother wrote us a letter years ago, reminding us of God's love and his faithfulness to all people. In researching this book, we came upon so many biblical references to God's love for all people. In 2021 this is such a comforting theme. It brings love, inclusion and connectivity to our world instead of polarization and hate. God comes to all people and brings comfort and love and healing if we will stop and listen. He comes in many different ways and through many different events. He teaches us to hold hands, not to push each other away, regardless of who we are or where we come from.
There have been so many generations of women stretching all the way back to biblical times whose lives have been influenced by the faithfulness of God. These are not unusual women; they are women just like us, comforted by God's faithfulness and love and motivated to be God's face in this world. They too have made a difference in this world just like our grandchildren will."
