Jill Eileen Smith offers women compassion and encouragement in the face of regrets, disappointment, betrayal, and more in this concise study of twelve Old Testament women. Drawing on her years of experience in bringing Biblical people to life through fiction, she invites readers to walk a mile in these women’s shoes and explore their disappointments and the choices that impacted their lives, from Eve’s regret following the fall through to Rachel’s anger at her father and sister’s betrayal and Zipporah’s frustration with a God who makes demands she doesn’t understand.

With gentle wisdom, Jill Eileen Smith leads readers to consider how they can learn from these women and grow their trust in the Lord no matter what circumstances they find themselves in. Brief discussion questions at the end of each chapter make this an ideal resource for small groups or individual study.
