More Precious than Pearls Anne Hamilton

MORE PRECIOUS THAN PEARLS is a book of prayers and devotions. It looks at nuances specifically related to women in the Hebrew text of the Bible that are often obscured in English translations. For example, the women of Israel did not give any jewelry towards the building of the golden calf. Another example: they were the first to give gold for the adornment of the Tabernacle. This book celebrates God's favour towards women and His surprising rewards for them because of their repeated faithfulness to the covenant. It includes prayers for women to use on their own behalf as well as prayers for mothers to speak over their children.
