Women of Courage Book

In this companion volume to Women of Character, Debra Evans uses vivid examples from the Old and New Testaments, saints' biographies, and church history to examine the nature of spiritual valor and its diverse life applications for contemporary women.

Courage doesn't stem from our own resources. It comes from God, and shines its brightest when we recognize our utter dependence on him. Women of Courage gives us twelve role models whose courageous qualities we can emulate. They come from different cultures and walks of life, face different challenges, and live in times extending from ages past right up to today. But all of them possess one thing in common: uncommon courage. From Hagar, whose faith led to the realization of a divine promise, to Rosa Parks, whose humble determination shaped the course of modern civil rights history, the inner fortitude to fulfill God's purposes is boldly displayed by the women in this book. Author Debra Evans describes key moments in their lives and the lessons they contain, revealing character traits that can strengthen us in our own times of testing. As you read, you will discover a kinship with the women in this book. Their examples will inspire you, convict you, refresh your focus, and encourage you that by God's grace, you, too, can courageously fulfill God's intent for your life.
