Do you feel like women are compared to unattainable ideals in the Bible through passages like Proverbs 31? Are there any clear examples of a homemaker with a career to balance but who also serves the Lord with gladness, even against recurring problems?

In Becoming Mrs. Nehemiah, Rebecca L. Jordan has blended a surprising look at the wife of Proverbs 31 with an insightful and fresh approach to the character of Nehemiah the wall-builder. It turns out that Nehemiah's job as cup-bearer in ancient Persia is like a highly skilled butler in service of royalty. So does this apply to civilized women who wish to serve God with their lives and be honorable mothers, career-holders, even PTA members? The answer is a resounding Yes! There is much to be learned from viewing these two seemingly different perspectives side-by-side and this book is it.

Rebecca shows that there are simple and straightforward principles hovering just beneath the surface of these two stories and bristling with livable guidelines and reachable benchmarks which women will find valuable in their everyday lives. For the many today who want clear strategies rooted in God's Word by which they can shape lives that are productive, vibrant, and set free from mediocrity, Becoming Mrs. Nehemiah is the book you may not have even known you were looking for.
