In the multitude of counselors there is safety. ~Proverbs 11:14 Virtually all devotionals for Christian women are rife with scriptural citations. The author generally provides a contextual exegesis for the relevant passages. Most often these daily readings involve examining the lives of biblical heroines, strong women like Deborah, Sarah, Ruth, the Virgin Mary, Mary of Magdalene, and Priscilla. But there are lessons to be learned, too, from the lives of more boorish women such as Miriam, Jezebel, and Job’s unnamed wife.Encouragement for Women is unique in that it tells the real-life stories of Christian women just like you and me. It reveals their successes and failures, their high points and their lows so that through their victories you may find inspiration and encouragement to continue your walk with Jesus and even grow closer to Him through your personal challenges.The stories included by the more than thirty contributing authors are not all pretty. They run the gamut of life’s queries, everything from experiencing a pre-Christian abortion and living with the consequences as a forgiven sinner to loving a homosexual sibling while hating the sin.This thirty-day devotional is written for every Christian woman. It is our prayer that by reading this devotional you will find the connection, help, and encouragement you have been searching for.Be sure to check out our website for your daily dose of spiritual encouragement!encouragementfromwomen.com
