“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But beware, Bream doesn’t whitewash the truth, so use care with younger teens and pre-teens.God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect…. Some may feel the writer goes too far, but the technique deepens the knowledge of believers while engaging non-Christians in biblical narrative.
For example, readers uniquely experience Bathsheba’s story through her eyes. Shannon Bream gives the gift of bringing each mother and daughter to life through scripture, faith lessons and a woman’s point of view. The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak deserves to be another bestseller as the author adds thoughtful layers to each story and expertly applies lessons to today while remaining true to the Old or New Testament period. Shannon Bream’s expressive voice and personal style create a special touch for audiobook listeners. Scripture and biblical references dust the pages, and thought-provoking study questions and a beautiful prayer close each chapter. The brief closing “Miracles for Mothers and Daughters, Too” includes the uplifting faith details of mostly unnamed women. “Daughters and Fathers” considers Dinah, Esther and Michal. “Mothers and Sons” probes the relationships of Rebekah, Bathsheba and Mary the mother of Jesus.
“Mothers and Daughters” explores Jochebed and Miriam, Ruth and Naomi, and Elizabeth and Mary. The engaging Bible study breaks naturally into three main sections. As a bonus, she weaves in her own personal story. Instead, the book thoughtfully and thoroughly examines faith in the Scriptural stories of women through their roles as mothers and daughters, some simultaneously. The main title might lead the reader to mistakenly believe the Liberty University alumna teaches only about relationships between mothers and their daughters. In time for Mother’s Day giving and summer reading, New York Times bestselling author, lawyer and media personality Shannon Bream has released The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak: Lessons on Faith from Nine Biblical Families. The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak: Lessons on Faith from Nine Biblical Families By Shannon Bream (Fox News Books, an imprint of HarperCollins, 2021)
