"God of Our Mothers" not only reads the stories of biblical women between the lines, but also uses their stories to throw light on our own experience. Among the women whose stories Ritley will examine are Sarah, who was not afraid to nudge God into action, and Judith, woman and warrior, whose faith saved God's people. Each chapter will conclude with questions for discussion and reflection, making this an ideal parish study book. With six chapters, it can also serve as a book of Lenten readings.
