Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family-and how God's unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.

She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. But what does it actually look like to live it out?
