God used the women of the Bible—with all their virtues and vices—to bring us one step closer to Jesus Christ. You also have a role to play in His story of salvation, because the story isn’t over yet!

Using Sacred Scripture and Catholic teaching, author Stacy Mitch with Emily Stimpson explores the lives of Eve, Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Jochebed, Rahab, Deborah, Jael, Ruth, Hannah, Abigail, Michal, Bathsheba, Judith, Esther, the Maccabean Woman, Mary the Mother of Christ, and Mary Magdalene in Courageous Women for Teens: A Study on the Heroines of Biblical History.

Stacy Mitch is the author of the successful Courageous Women bible study series.
