Shannon Bream’s Women of Faith Books

The Women of the Bible Speak: The Wisdom of 16 Women and Their Lessons for Today

The women of the Bible lived timeless storiesโ€”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 Estherโ€™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 Jesusโ€™ 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 individualโ€™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 womanโ€™s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today. 

Reviews

โ€œShannon Bream reminds us: when women of God speak, weโ€™re wise to listen, take note, and learn. Iโ€™ve found it true in my own life, and Shannonโ€™s book is a worthy reminder, revealing rich life lessons found in the lives of biblical women.โ€ — Max Lucado, pastor and New York Times bestselling author 

โ€œWomen of the Bible have made significant contributions, and God used them to change the course for everyone. Shannon introduces us to the brave, noble, and sometimes vulnerable or broken women in the Bible. This book is a helpful tool to demonstrateโ€”no matter what you are going throughโ€”that other women experienced the same and still came out on top.โ€ — Ainsley Earhardt, New York Times bestselling author of The Light Within Me

They defended Israel and were the first Christian evangelists. There are lessons for all of us in this bookโ€ — Michael W. Smith, Grammy award winning singer-songwriter

The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak: Lessons on Faith from Nine Biblical Families

God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expectโ€ฆ.

โ€œHave faithโ€ 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 Godโ€™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 Godโ€™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 sonโ€™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 familyโ€”and how Godโ€™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 Godโ€™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. Heโ€™s still doing the same work in our lives today.
