Description
Para las madres y mujeres de fe que no se sienten suficientemente virtuosas o diligentes, para las personas agobiadas por sus errores e incluso para quienes piensan que han fallado, este es un libro poderoso y tranquilizador que examina cómo las mujeres de la Biblia se enfrentaron a escenarios y problemas similares a los que experimenta la mujer de hoy, a la vez que ofrece reflexiones necesarias para ayudarnos a comprender mejor las lecciones que sus vidas tienen para nosotros. En general, las historias bíblicas protagonizadas por hombres se han utilizado frecuentemente, y por largo tiempo, como lecciones para las personas de fe. Es decir, aquellas que son sobre padres e hijos se han centrado, por lo mismo, en estas figuras. Sin embargo, las madres y las hijas de la Biblia tienen historias igualmente poderosas y perspicaces, por ejemplo, pensemos en la madre de Moisés, Jocabed, que asumió enormes riesgos para proteger a su hijo de los planes genocidas del faraón. Pero, también, está el caso de Rebeca, una madre que planea y conspira con deshonra para que su hijo Jacob prospere. Se trata de una mujer que actúa con favoritismo, que practica el engaño y que sacrificaría cualquier cosa por el futuro de su hijo. Así, este libro destaca las lecciones que podemos extraer de Jocabed, Rebeca y otras mujeres de la Biblia mediante un acercamiento a relaciones puntuales entre madres e hijas, madres e hijos, e hijas y padres. Aunque, muy pocas de estas madres e hijas fueron modelos de virtud, se entienden hoy como seres humanos que flaquearon y lucharon por hacer lo mejor que podían a pesar de los fracasos. Algunas escucharon la voz de Dios, otras no lo hicieron. No obstante, en su imperfección, estas mujeres son modelos para nuestras vidas. Sus historias muestran que Dios nos habla no sólo a través de nuestras virtudes, sino también a través de nuestros errores. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION For mothers of faith who don't feel virtuous enough, people who feel burdened by their mistakes, and anyone who has ever failed, a powerful, reassuring book that examines how the women of the Bible coped with situations and problems similar to those experienced by women today and offers much-needed insights to help us better understand the lessons these Biblical lives hold for our own.
Biblical stories featuring men have long been used as lessons for people of faith. Biblical stories about parents and children have longer centered on fathers and sons. But the mothers and daughters of the Bible have stories that are just as powerful and insightful--such as Moses' mother, Jochebed, who takes enormous risks to protect her son from Pharaoh's genocidal plans. By contrast, Rebekah is a mother who dishonorably plans and schemes for her son Jacob's advancement. She plays favorites, practices deception, and will sacrifice anything for Jacob's future. This book highlights the lessons we can draw from Jochebed, Rebekah, and other women of the Bible, examining the relationships of mothers and daughters, mothers and sons, and daughters and fathers. Very few of these mothers and daughters were paragons of virtue. They were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best, yet sometimes failed. While some heard God's voice, others could not. Yet in their imperfection, these women are models for our own lives. Their stories show us that God speaks to us not only through our virtues but through our mistakes as well.
