Pero también redefine la forma como el mundo nos dice que deberíamos pensar sobre amor. La Biblia no solo revela mariposas y corazones rotos. En las Escrituras vemos el hermoso diseño de Dios para la pareja del matrimonio. Somos testigos de amistades que superan todas las fronteras. Observamos familias navegar las múltiples etapas de la vida. Nuestro ejemplo guía para todo ello es el amor más fundamental y constante conocido: el amor incondicional de Dios por Su pueblo.

Nos muestra cómo el amor de Dios muchas veces es distinto del nuestro, volteando de cabeza nuestras suposiciones sobre la vida, las relaciones y nosotros mismos. Las historias de amor de la Biblia nos hablan nos recuerda que, sin importar dónde estemos, el amor inalterable de Dios nos sostendrá y guiará. Estos pensamientos sobre relaciones bíblicas te animarán y te darán valor, además de revelar nuevas dimensiones del papel cristiano central: amar a Dios y al prójimo.

From the moment Adam declared Eve "flesh of my flesh" ...to the sacrificial love of Joseph for Mary...to the deep friendship of David and Jonathan...to the abounding and never-changing love of God: The Bible is a love story. But it also redefines the way the world tells us we should think about love. The Bible reveals not just butterflies and broken hearts. In Scripture, we see God''s beautiful design for the partnership of marriage. We witness friendships that cross all boundaries. We watch as families navigate the many seasons of life. Our guiding example for them all is the deepest, most abiding, foundational love ever known: God''s unconditional love for His people. In The Love Stories of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream draws lessons from the good, the bad, and the ugly of Biblical romances, friendships, and families.

Nem sempre é fácil confiar nos planos de Deus. Em O que dizem as mães e filhas da Bíblia, a jornalista Shannon Bream mostra que a fé, muito mais do que uma linha reta, costuma ser uma aventura tortuosa, na qual o fim é sempre surpreendente e recompensador. Quando Joquebede se arriscou para proteger a vida de seu filho Moisés, ela jamais imaginaria que o plano de Deus para Moisés poderia envolver o exílio e uma jornada perigosa. Mesmo assim, no fim das contas, viu que tudo isso era parte de um plano maior para libertar Israel da escravidão. Outra mãe da Bíblia, Rebeca, fez escolhas terríveis na tentativa de que seu filho ficasse marcado na história. De Eva a Sara, de Rebeca a Raquel e Lia, a maternidade tem um papel central nas primeiras histórias bíblicas. Contudo, quase não vemos essas mães interagindo com seus filhos ou as filhas interagindo com seus pais. Por meio dessas e de muitas outras histórias, Shannon Bream lança luz sobre as histórias dessas mulheres em O que dizem as mães e filhas da Bíblia. A autora explica a conexão intrínseca entre a fé e as relações familiares — e como os planos imprevisíveis de Deus podem redefinir a maneira como pensamos a família. Ao dar voz às mulheres bíblicas, com todos os erros e acertos que as tornam humanas, a autora permite que nos identifiquemos com elas. Podemos entender, enfim, como Deus usou a história das mães e filhas na Bíblia para concretizar Seus planos divinos — e como Ele continua fazendo o mesmo em nossa vida até hoje. Ao final de cada capítulo, Bream organiza, ainda, perguntas que auxiliam na compreensão e reflexão de cada uma das nove histórias analisadas. Assim, a autora abre o caminho para as valiosas lições e insights que podem ser retirados de cada uma dessas famílias bíblicas . O que dizem as mães e filhas da Bíblia é um livro poderoso e reconfortante que mostra que, ainda que não seja da maneira que esperávamos, Deus sempre cumpre Suas promessas. "Seja você mãe, filha, tia, sobrinha ou prima, eu tenho certeza de que terá a chance de se identificar com os desafios, medos, angústias e alegrias que algumas dessas mulheres da Bíblia passaram." – Fernanda Witwytzky, autora de Enquanto isso, Casal imperfeito e As primeiras quatro estações

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.

Las mujeres de la Biblia vivieron historias atemporales. Al examinarlas, podemos comprender qué significa ser una mujer de fe. Las personas no familiarizadas con las Escrituras suelen asumir que las mujeres tienen un papel pequeño y secundario en la Biblia, cuando de hecho fueron figuras centrales en numerosos relatos bíblicos. La valentía de la reina Esther fue lo que salvó a su pueblo entero en un momento histórico decisivo. La Biblia contiene guerreras, como Jael; juezas, como Deborah, y profetas, como Miriam. La primera persona que presenció la resurrección de Jesús fue María Magdalena, quien enseguida se convirtió en la primera evangelista cristiana, deseosa de compartir la noticia que cambiaría al mundo para siempre. En Las mujeres de la Biblia nos hablan, Shannon Bream, del canal Fox News, expone la vida de dieciséis de estas mujeres bíblicas, organizándolas en pares y contrastando sus caminos. Al vincular sus historias, Shannon nos ayuda a reflexionar no solo sobre el significado de la vida de cada una, sino cómo se relacionan entre sí y con nosotros. Desde las pastoras del Israel antiguo que ayudaron a criar a los futuros líderes del pueblo de Dios, hasta las valientes primeras cristianas, la narrativa de la Biblia nos ofrece diversos personajes femeninos vívidos y fascinantes. En sus vidas podemos observar una lucha común por resistir la amargura, el desamparo y el orgullo, y por encontrar en cambio su verdadera identidad a través de la fe, la esperanza y el amor. Al estudiar a estas heroínas de la fe podemos encontrar la sabiduría y las señales para navegar mejor nuestro propio viaje en la fe. Las mujeres de la Biblia nos hablan detalla las lecciones que podemos aprender del valor de Esther, de la esperanza de Hannah, de la audacia de Rahab y de la fe de María. Al ampliar la historia personal de cada mujer, Shannon nos ofrece una interpretación más profunda de todas ellas, así como la sabiduría y la perspectiva para transformar nuestras vidas hoy.

The women of the Bible lived timeless stories—by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith. People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever. In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel''s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us. From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys. The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.

Guerreiras como Jael, juízas como Débora e profetisas como Miriam são essenciais para a compreensão das Escrituras Sagradas. Em O que dizem as mulheres da Bíblia Shannon Bream conta a história dessas e de outras mulheres que foram verdadeiras protagonistas da Bíblia. Vivemos em uma sociedade que, muitas vezes, não dá o devido destaque ao protagonismo feminino no livro sagrado cristão; mas a verdade é que as mulheres bíblicas desempenharam papéis primordiais através das passagens. Agora, Shannon Bream dá voz a essas mulheres, com todos os erros e acertos que as tornam humanas e, consequentemente, tão fáceis de se identificar. Em O que dizem as mulheres da Bíblia, a advogada, jornalista e apresentadora Shannon Bream destrincha a história de vida de 16 mulheres bíblicas. Qual o significado dessas trajetórias? De que maneira elas se relacionam entre si e com a humanidade como um todo? Com um olhar atencioso e uma narrativa envolvente, Shannon organiza essas personagens em pares, permitindo ao leitor comparar a realidades delas e a própria. E ao final de cada capítulo há perguntas que auxiliam na compreensão e reflexão das histórias. Assim, a autora abre o caminho para as valiosas lições e insights que podem ser retirados de cada uma delas. A primeira pessoa a testemunhar a ressurreição de Jesus foi Maria Madalena, que prontamente se tornou a primeira evangelista cristã; Ester foi a rainha que salvou todo o seu povo; Maria de Nazaré, mãe de Jesus, é exemplo de amor e fé; Ana é exemplo de esperança e Raabe de audacidade. Entre guerreiras, juízas, profetisas e outras personalidades já conhecidas, descobrimos que essas mulheres foram muito mais que meras personagens secundárias — elas foram verdadeiras protagonistas. O que dizem as mulheres da Bíblia é uma análise sensível e desafiadora sobre a vida de 16 mulheres fascinantes, que têm sua importância finalmente reconhecida nesta obra. Essas heroínas são exemplos vívidos de como lutar para resistir à amargura, ao desespero e ao orgulho e, em vez disso, encontrar o verdadeiro eu na fé, na esperança e no amor. Ao estudá-las, é possível encontrar sabedoria e sinais de como melhor navegar em nossa jornada de fé. "Shannon Bream nos lembra: quando mulheres de Deus falam, o mais sábio é escutar, tomar notas e aprender. Decobri isso por experiência própria, e o livro de Shannon é um ótimo lembrete, revelando poderosas lições de vida encontradas na história dessas mulheres bíblicas." – Max Lucado, pastor e autor best-seller do New York Times "Em O que dizem as mulheres da Bíblia, Shannon Bream nos oferece valiosos exemplos de como viver uma vida temente a Deus. Por meio de histórias instigantes e envolventes, Shannon revela como as mulheres desempenharam papéis centrais na Bíblia. Elas foram rainhas corajosas, mães fortes e profetisas sábias. Elas defenderam Israel e foram as primeiras evangelistas cristãs. Tem lições para todos os tipos de pessoa neste livro." – Michael W. Smith, cantor e compositor

God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect…. “Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself. Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family—and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today. The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
