FROM BEST-SELLING AUTHOR MICHELLE MCCLAIN-WALTERS When your faith fails, God prevails. This book will teach you how to live out your nature as an active participant in God's vision. Sarah was a loyal wife who followed her husband, Abraham, when God spoke to him. Even when Abraham made mistakes, she still called him "lord." She is an example of a woman with a submitted spirit who responded biblically to her husband without losing her identity. Sarah was an active participant in God's vision--perhaps too active, as she ran ahead of God and tried to fulfill His covenant in her own timing. She also laughed at the possibility of a miracle. But when God changed Sarah's name, He changed her nature. The name change linked her to Abraham in co-rulership, including her in God's covenant promise, which was fulfilled by the couple's working together. Sarah's example shows us that God has included women in His purposes and plans throughout history and will include them in the next great awakening. Her life is a positive lesson in faith that breaks personal limitations.

An account of the life of Sarah Jordan, an invalid who found peace and joy in God in the midst of great suffering. Includes extracts from her letters.

Life abounds with crises, disappointments, mundane routines, and some very joyful moments. Everything that happens has a cause. We often don't take time to reflect on purposes, or we simply explain events away with simplistic explanations of either good or bad luck. Totally unaware of real causes behind life events, we easily move on to the next day, the next week, and the next year. In a gentle way, Sarah Liu leads the reader on a walk through events from her childhood in China and shows the handprint of God on these vignettes of her life. As she reflects on what God accomplished through joys, crises, disappointments, and ordinary family life, she invites readers to reflect on their own life experiences to detect the hand of God. Her conviction that God selects and covers with grace regardless of man's perceptions runs throughout her stories and provides encouragement and inspiring faith and trust. This book provides encouragement for anyone praying for a loved one to come to God, but also provides rich inspiration for those with pressing questions about the meaning and purpose of life's crises and disappointments. Parents, pastors, ministers, teachers, and leaders would be inspired by this devotional written from a genuine passion to explore God's present action in life's daily events.

Including brief biographies together with papers written by six college-educated black women from the period before the American Civil War, three of whom were called Sarah, this volume provides primary evidence of education for black women in this period of American history.

Discussion questions are included at the end of each chapter, making this book an ideal resource for individual and group study.
