QUOTE : These women were not perfect and yet God in His infinite mercy used them in His perfect plan to bring forth the Christ, the Savior of the world. We live in desperate, troubled times when millions seek answers. These women point the way. The lessons we can learn from them are as applicable today as when they lived thousands of years ago. Tamar is a woman of hope. Rahab is a woman of faith. Ruth is a woman of love. Bathsheba is a woman who received unlimited Grace. Mary is a woman of obedience.
