The
Faith of America’s First Ladies
by Jane Hampton Cook takes a look at how faith
strengthened many of the nation's first ladies and also
uses stories from their lives to illustrate principles
found in a proverb about a first lady who lived in the
time of Solomon, known as Proverbs 31. The book is
topical, with chapters on work, family, leadership,
service, courage, investment, beauty, laughter, and
faith. The book is both a great read, and inspiring
work. |
