Following examples of women of faith is a great way to learn how to become women of God. And the best examples are from the true stories in the Bible.

But we can learn from past women's failures as well as their triumphs.Legacy of Faith highlights twenty-four of the Bible's most prominent women. Brownback offers insight and practical application for today's women. She reveals how we can claim the same promises of Christ as these women did—because God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
