The words of Zechariah "Let your hands be strong" echo across the ages and are heard again as this generation of mothers consider their holy calling of motherhood.

In the 23 stories in Let Your Hands Be Strong you'll meet women from all walks of life, different countries, and times. Women from:

• Ancient Bible Times
• The Early Church
• Middle Ages
• Anabaptist Times
• Pioneer Era
• Modern Times

They lived. They loved. They struggled. They failed. They triumphed. Hearts and lives are not so different than your own. A faith not so different from your own—at times faltering, often times victorious, and always trusting in the One who made their hands strong for the fight of faith.
