Modern-day pressures for super-model beauty, high-powered careers, and perfect families place a spotlight on a woman’s achievements instead of her worth.
The Faith of America’s First Ladies shows how numerous first ladies triumphed over the extreme pressure of their position by placing their faith in God. The book celebrates character and faith through stories of first ladies, principles from the Proverbs 31 woman of character, and insights from modern women on work, family, beauty, laughter, leadership, service, and homeland security.
By using the historical stories, along with a Hebrew proverb and biblical principles, Jane Cook explains that God is the true source of value and worth.
Women will be encouraged to view their roles, talents, and responsibilities as opportunities to allow God to shine through them.
