Anna, The Prophetess [part 2] Series

She could well serve as the Bible's example of a remarkable woman and mother. The appositive prophetess heads ...read more

This “Hero of the Faith”, mentioned in Hebrews 11 goes by the name of Sarah, and she’s the first lady mentioned in Paul’s hall of fame for Heroes. There is so much spiritual meat in Sarah’s life that it’s hard to boil it down into a few worthy snapshots.
