Women at a Crossroads: The Crises Biblical and Contemporary Women Overcame Through God

This inspired work portrays the challenging encounters Biblical and contemporary women, experience in life. The writer, instructed by the Holy Spirit, uses scriptures, sermons, local/international news, and weaves anecdotes, and stories, in the tapestry, along with songs of different genres into the numerous episodes of women's crossroads, illustrating their experiences: · Life and living - Love - Choices/Commitment/Relationships · Leadership (Spiritual/Secular) - Strength/Faith/Trust - Weaknesses, abuse, and exploitation · The Sisterhood - Friendship/Loyalty/Rivalry · Impact of conflicts/wars, nationality, traditions, · Reconciliation /Restoration Some are strong leaders; others are manipulated, but they endure the dominance of their oppressors. Some women today, are made subjects to and of their environment, yet they defy the odds and escape the ravages and the harsh realities of their lives. The strength some women portray, is seen in their decision-making capabilities, their moral fiber, and their faith. While some, at their crossroads, resolutely endure and triumph, they are left with mental and physical scars. However, some are able to share their victories and claim God's promises. Others, deeply injured, are striving in unbearable circumstances, are weakened and submissive and so become marred, but not irredeemable; if they earnestly trust in God's power to deliver.
