How would the most cherished stories of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam be different if women were the active central figures? This ground-breaking collection of short stories brings to life the women—daring, brave, thoughtful, and wise—who played important and exciting roles in the early days of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Join Esther as she stands against injustice and her king to save her people, Aisha as she leads hundreds of men into terrifying battle, and Mary as she and Elizabeth dream of the new lives growing inside them. How must Sarah have felt, turning Hagar out into the desert? And how must Hagar have felt, traveling from the safety and security of Abraham's land toward an uncertain future? These stories invite us to come to know and appreciate the struggles and triumphs of these women—mothers, daughters, believers and seekers.

Women -- though seldom educated -- played key roles in the development of these three great faiths, but their lives and contributions are rarely honored. The men who recorded and copied the sacred Scriptures and other important texts included very little about how women passed on their experiences of God through storytelling, song, and ritual. With the help of imagination and careful research, Daughters of the Desert introduces us to the lives and loves, personalities and dreams of women who are only hinted at in the Scriptures, but whose faith and strength were vital to the growth of their beliefs. Taking as starting points passages from the Hebrew and Christian Bibles and the Qur'an, this diverse collection of short stories allows us to hear the voices of our common female ancestors loud and clear. Ideal for anyone who has ever wondered what life was like for our spiritual foremothers, these stories bring life and breath to the past. What the Scriptures have often only outlined in passing is here fully imagined -- from thrilling events that decided the fate of thousands to everyday moments of friendship and love.

What Women Would Dare Claim The Israelites' Promised Land? The Daughters of Zelophehad! Wendy Yapp captures the extraordinary yet little-known Old Testament account of Zelophehad's five daughters as a springboard for insightful teaching to help guide you toward your divine destiny. The story begins in Egypt with God's people struggling under tyranny and injustice. After the excitement of liberation, the desert training commences. With vivid descriptions and compelling narrative, the biblical characters are brought to life. Throughout the retelling, Yapp interweaves teachings on holy living, worship and prayer. And the significance of the daughters' names - Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah - take on historical and contextual depth as the story unfolds. When Zelophehad dies, his teenage daughters face a tough decision: do they accept the status quo of a male-dominated society, or risk everything and claim their father's inheritance? The surprise ending is unforgettable! If you want to leave your desert and embrace all God has promised you.... Let the daughters of Zelophehad show you the way. About the author: Wendy Yapp was born in Scotland and attended the University of Glasgow and Glasgow's Bible Training Institute. Married to Kai Seen, they and their three children have lived in several nations. Their home is now in Perth, Australia, where Wendy, Director of PrayerCare International, has served on various citywide ministry teams.

In Desert Daughters, Desert Sons, professor Rachel Wheeler argues that a new reading of the texts of the Christian desert tradition is needed to present the (often) anonymous women who inhabit the texts. Though these women may have been included by storytellers to provide a foil to the exemplary men in the stories' foreground, Wheeler demonstrates how women's persistence in places they were not welcome witnesses to truths about where wisdom may be sought and found. In this book, Wheeler allows these women's stories to critique the desert impulse that can create a spiritual life devoid of social relationships and responsibility.

Leila understands from early on that she is not part of normal Sudanese society. Her parents are unable to care for her, so she is banished to a strict orphanage, along with children born outside marriage. At school, Leila and her best friend Amal are called 'daughters of sin'. Her pretty sister, Zulima, is married off to a much older man, while the nannies say an abandoned girl is lucky to get an offer of marriage at all. At the age of ten, both Leila and Amal endure female circumcision. Suffering appalling prejudice, and thought to bring the 'evil eye', Leila remains outgoing and brave and manages to get an education. She goes on to marry, have four children, and divorce, yet even grown up she continues to know the stigma of being abandoned. Undaunted, Leila founds her own charity to help those shunned as outcasts and she continues to work tirelessly to dispel prejudice. This beautifully written, graceful memoir perfectly evokes the heat and colour of the North African desert and tells of the true friendships that are born out of adversity.
