Despite their conditions her parents, Amram and Jochebed, managed to instill in their daughter a rich faith in the one true God, Yahweh. This book takes up Miriam's story at around ...

Each of the 25 chapters is a short, biblical commentary on the passage and how it relates to our lives. Each chapter has thought-provoking questions or discussion points for personal reflection or small group discussion. Using the often overlooked yet powerful story of Ruth in the Old Testament, Pastor and Author David ...
