A collection of narrated & illustrated stories that can be enjoyed as an "e-book" or as a course with quizzes & certificate on completion. We look at 22 women and the lessons we learn from them that are still relevant today.
(For convenience we use a secure payment gateway)
Here is some information about Michele, the narrator of these stories.
We begin by having a look at the creation and what God's plan for women was.
God used many women throughout the bible, women of all ages, some strong and bold, others gentle, yet impactful. Some were married, others not yet married, single women and widows.
It doesn't matter where we are in our lives, or what our current status is, we can all be in a position to fulfil the will of God for our lives, we can all have a positive and lasting impact on others.
