Touched by Greatness: Women in the Life of Moses (Dorothy Patterson)

Touched by Greatness

Women in the Life of Moses

Many women impacted the life of Moses. The woman who bore him, the young girl who shadowed him, and the foreigner who raised him are just three of the key influencers on his life. Their actions meant that a Hebrew child was reared as a prince of Egypt and became one of the greatest leaders of all time. Each woman who influenced the life of Moses was guided by God to bring his plans to pass. As you read about their lives you will discover the unique role women have to be mightily used of God too.

“This is one of the best books on women I have ever read! It is thoroughly engaging, practically enriching and extremely relevant for women today.”

— Debbie Stuart, Director of Women’s Ministry, Prestonwood Baptist Church, Plano, Texas

“The vignettes encourage, edify, challenge, and motivate women of all ages, regardless of their giftedness or social status, to offer themselves as vessels to be used to glorify their heavenly Father.”

— Patricia A. Ennis, Professor & Director of Homemaking Programs, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas

“This extensive and eloquently written work tells the inspirational stories of women who overcame major challenges and setbacks allowing God to do the work He intended through the life of Moses. Without these women who were willing to go against the norm to protect and preserve family, Moses would not have lived to accomplish what God intended. It is absolutely one of the most fascinating books written about the significance mothers and women play in family life.”

— Glenda Eitel, Registered Nurse I Campus Clinic, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas
