But God Remembered: Stories of Women from Creation to the Promised Land Book

A lively collection of four different stories of women only briefly mentioned in biblical tradition and religious texts, but never explored, women whose stories have been long forgotten-until now.

Award-winning author Sasso brings to life Lilith, the first woman in Eden and for whom "night" is named in Hebrew; Serach, the wise musician whose song reveals to Jacob his son is alive; Bityah, who draws baby Moses from the Nile and with a mother's bravery encourages him to become who he will be; and the Daughters of Z, who fight against discrimination with great daring and extraordinary results. All teach important values through their faith and actions.

But God Remembered is a modern reclaiming of the Bible, a glorious re-emergence of courageous and strong women from ancient tradition. These stories will invite children to explore the biblical text and to use their own imagination to become a part of it.

"These stories will reach deeply into the faith lives of both Christians and Jews....A treasure of encouragement and inspiration." -Bookviews

"Exquisite....A book of beauty, strength and spirituality." -Association of Bible Teachers

"Sasso tells good stories; and these will have even more value for the discussions they can generate. Andersen's evocative paintings are beautiful additions to this carefully designed book." -Booklist Starred Review

Here are stories that might have happened, about four women of biblical tradition.
