Young and female, their stories are tucked away in the pages of scripture. Rhoda and Hagar; slaves. Bilhah and Zilpah; concubines. Rebekah and Aksah, young brides. Named and unnamed daughters of the wicked and of the faithful. Sisters connected by justice, by tragic vows, and by prophecy. Ezer Strong: Teen Women of the Bible searches for their presence and listens for their voices in the grand narrative of the Bible. As their stories unfold, their warrior strength will both surprise and encourage the contemporary reader who desires to hear the voice of God as spoken from the margins and the marginalized.
