Ordinary Women of the Bible

The authors skillfully blend historical fact, authentic detail, and imaginative storytelling to create a number of compelling page-turners- each completely unique from the last!

The first book in the series, A Mother’s Sacrifice, opens with a Hebrew wife, Jochebad going into labor with her third child. Moments before the baby is delivered, she receives the shocking news that the midwives have been ordered by Pharaoh to kill all Hebrew newborn boys. In the pages that follow, author Carole Towriss describes the extraordinary lengths that Jochebad goes to in order to save the life of her son, who will one day lead his people out of slavery in Egypt.
