Publisher's Summary
“A woman of valor, who can find?” She is rare and capable; gentle and ferocious. And storytellers often push her to the side in favor of passive “heroines” or steamrolling “girl bosses.” But did you know that there are many folk tales with leading ladies who actually exemplify biblical courage and resourcefulness?
While Daughter, Arise dealt with women overcoming an identity crisis and breaking free of bondage, the stories in Woman of Valor, Arise explore the next step on the path of freedom: reaching back to pull others out of darkness. Because a daughter set free by her Heavenly Father shares His heart for righteousness and justice, and cannot bear to sit back in comfort while others suffer.
Journey back into the fairy tale forest, and meet mothers who snatch their children from the jaws of death. Sisters who stand against tyranny. Heroines who help heal the brokenhearted, set captives free, break curses, and bring the enemy to justice. With lionhearted love and courage, the Proverbs 31 woman walks off the pages of these timeless tales, showing us how to live like Jesus, and reach back to free the oppressed.
Step into the stories—and unlock the woman of valor in you.
Publisher's Summary
“Once upon a time…” These compelling words stir something deep within us—a longing for truth, transformation, and the comfort of a good story. Folk and fairy tales have enchanted us for generations, but what if they hold more than fantasy? Daughter, Arise invites you to see these timeless tales through a new lens—one rooted in biblical truth and spiritual insight.
Just like Jesus used parables to reveal the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven in a relatable way, these beloved stories hold hidden lessons that gently reveal God’s heart for women—the heart of a Father who will not see His daughters dwell in darkness one more day, and whispers to each one as He did to Jairus’ daughter, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”
These fantastical tales give voice to the real trials and transformations involved in “growing up girl,” while reminding us that rejection and abandonment are not the end of the story. Each chapter takes a classic fairy tale and unpacks it from a Christian perspective, revealing powerful patterns of spiritual truth and celebrating the reclamation of female identity rooted in Christ. From overcoming abandonment to recovering personal value and developing faith, strength, and courage in adversity, these stories offer a treasure trove of wisdom and strategies for every woman on a quest to recover her godly identity.
Step into the stories—and discover your place in His.
