**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**
In her first book, Sarah Christmyer―codeveloper of The Great Adventure Catholic Bible study program―pairs the stories of key Old Testament women with stories of women she has known to show us how we can hear God, say yes to his call, and share him with the world just as they did. The women God called to bring his chosen people into the world were ordinary women who struggled with emptiness, oppression, infertility, and loss―yet who found strength and hope in God. Winner of a 2020 Catholic Press Association book award (third place, scripture-popular studies). Breaking open the scriptures to reveal the historical, cultural, and biblical context in which Old Testament women lived, Sarah Christmyer breathes new life into their stories and makes their lives surprisingly relatable.
