Synopsis "Living Water, Living Stories: African-American Women and Their Biblical Sisters"
If you could step inside the story of one woman in the Bible, whose story would you choose? Twenty African-American women answered this question by sharing their personal stories. Their stories and imaginative glimpses into the lives of the biblical women they chose make up this collection. Among the women you will meet are Iesha, Tammy, and Peggy. Dr. Iesha, who chose the biblical Deborah, is pioneering the way to holistic medicine that integrates physical and spiritual care. Tammy, a modern Woman at the Well, is a survivor of childhood trauma who discovered the "living water" and now accompanies other women on their healing journeys. Peggy, a modern Syrophoenician mother, debates with God as she advocates for her children who have learning differences. "Questions for Reflection" invite readers to think about their own life stories either alone or in group settings. Questions "For Further Exploration" give suggestions for individuals or groups who wish to pursue the issues raised in the stories in greater depth. Readers will discover that the stories in the Bible are our stories. The story of God's people, the canon, is not closed. It continues to reveal God's love and justice through the lives of today's women and men of faith. This is the story into which we are all invited.
