In these 16 engaging lessons, you'll be encouraged to reflect on the parallels between each woman's journey and your own. You'll explore how God worked in their lives and uncover how He is working in yours today.

Each lesson in the workbook guides you through these exercises:

REFLECT: Read key moments from each woman's life in the Bible and connect with her story.

Some of these women knew each other, while others were connected by a shared purpose that becomes clearer when studied side by side.
