Whether it's an idea you can't shake, a business you've been dreaming of, a movement that has the potential to impact people, or a family that will leave a legacy, it can be intimidating to follow God's promptings. While most of us are familiar with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the fulfillment of God's promises to these patriarchs could never have happened without the matriarchs--Sarah, Rebekah, Leah, and Rachel. These women remained brave as they traversed unknown lands, hopeful as they petitioned God for children, and so very human as they schemed and despaired that they might not fulfill their purposes. In Matriarchs, Paige Allen pairs personal stories of audacious faith, simple obedience, and the occasional royal screw-up with what she has learned from the mothers of our faith about how to birth a promise of God on earth. These matriarchs speak to the simple truth that women, both then and now, play a vital role in God's story and are invited to embrace His promises, wait well, lean into pain, nurture their dreams, and eventually release them into the world.
