Daughters of the Covenant
By Susan Hunt, Barbara Thompson, with Karen Hodge
Some forty years ago two friends began learning a covenantal perspective of Scripture. It seemed God’s Word was unlocked and the glory of His redemption story was revealed to them. In 2003, they shared what they had learned in The Legacy of Biblical Womanhood. So, why update such a well-loved book?
Susan Hunt and Barbara Thompson explain: “We have grown in our understanding and experience of God’s covenant love and our adoption into His family. . . . This sacred stewardship of Word-based content has been refined and validated in the context of community. . . . The time is ripe to entrust it to another generation of readers.”
To help with this task they called on their spiritual daughter, Karen Hodge. It is the covenant way. In Daughters of the Covenant these three combine their experience to teach new generations how God’s covenant promises and principles inform and influence every role and relationship, how they change attitudes, ambitions, and actions, and how they shape and sustain.
