Fox News' Shannon Bream in latest book: 'Spiritual mothers' share wisdom, strength forever
Fox News
Shannon Bream's new book, "The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak," explores the lives of women portrayed in the Bible — and in this excerpt from the book, the closeness between Mary and Elizabeth is revealed.
"I don’t know about you, but I unearth new treasures every time I dive into a passage I may have read hundreds of times." "In Elizabeth’s absence, Mary was most certainly missing her mentor and spiritual mother as she watched her son — the one they had dreamed about together — be tortured and put to death." "Spiritual motherhood involves guiding and leading someone in faith. Not all of us will be called to biological motherhood, but we can all exercise the role of spiritual motherhood."
Bream not only looks closely into the lives of specific women in her new book — she also shares broader spiritual guidance for all those needing a gentle, helpful nudge toward God when times are hard, and even when they're not.
