If Genesis and Exodus had been written by a woman, what would they be like? Re-imagined from a woman's perspective, these familiar events delight the imagination and stir the soul in refreshing new ways. Miriam Therese Winter retells our ancient myths of Creation, the Garden, and the Flood, and chronicles the adventures of the remarkable women of Genesis and Exodus: Sarah and Hagar, Rebekah, Leah, Rachel, Miriam, and many more. According to the author, she is presenting us with an ancient manuscript that was written long ago by one of the many wives of Solomon. This woman writer, named Noah, feared the loss of women's perspective as written records began replacing oral traditions. She wrote these Chronicles to offer another side to the story of our shared myths and memories. The Chronicles of Noah and Her Sisters is wonderful spiritual reading, and a must for all women - and men - concerned about handing on the essentials of faith to their daughters and granddaughters.

Growing up fundamentalist and female-and maturing into a feminist By the age of twelve, Susan Campbell had been flirting with Jesus for some time, and in her mind, Jesus had been flirting back. Why wouldn't he? She went to his house three times a week, sat in his living room, listened to his stories, loudly and lustily sang songs to him. So, one Sunday morning, she walked to the front of her fundamentalist Christian church to profess her love for Jesus and to be baptized. But from the moment her robe floated to the surface of the baptistery water, she began to question her fundamentalist Christian faith. If baptism requires complete immersion underwater, what does it mean, she wondered, if a piece of fabric attached to a would-be Christian floats to the top? Does the baptism still count? In this lovingly told tale, Susan Campbell takes us into the world of fundamentalism-a world where the details really, really matter. And she shows us what happened when she finally came to admit that in her faith, women would never be allowed a seat at the throne.

You know the story of Noah and the flood. You know Noah loved God and his family. This is not the story of Noah. We already know that story. This is the story of the second most important person in Noah's life, His wife. This is the untold story of Noah's wife. as made up by the Pfishin' Sisters. I want to begin by making certain we are all on the same page. This is a story, fiction, the wild imaginings of some very imaginative people. There are a few truths the story is built on. God told Noah to build an ark. God also told Noah only Noah's family would be saved. Noah and his three sons are identified and mentioned in the Bible. They are the only members of the family named in the Bible. Noah's wife's name was found after an extensive search of the internet, cross-checking, and going back to original sources. Some other names were mentioned, the one used in the story had the most agreement this was her name. The events, outside of what is quoted from the Bible, are fiction, the names of the people, even the people, are fiction. Please enjoy the story as it's intended to be. A story of faith, love, and family. From the foreword written by Joan E Murry of Joan Murray Ministries and Seeds of Hope Worldwide Missions The story of Noah's wife, as seen through the eyes of the writers, is a refreshing and easy read for children and families. This engaging story will offer opportunities for families to have in-depth discussions about teamwork. The writers took a biblical tale and told it through the lens of modern-day families. Noah, at first did not share the complete vision of the building of the ark with his wife and family. Therefore, the family had concerns and challenges as it unfolded. Noah's grandchildren faced bullying from children at school because the ark was so visible in the yard. Noah's wife and children were talked about, mocked, and ridiculed because people thought they were fools for saying yes to the assignment of building the ark. As you read this eye-opening story may you also discover even when you are not in the starring role, like a Noah, you are still needed to make the story complete.
