Foreword

“

I would engage in conversations with Pastor Tinu, I would often hear her animate the stories of women long gone but never forgotten: "And there's this woman in the Bible..." "And that reminds me of when Elizabeth..." "I've always wondered how Jochebed..." "If you look at the story of Hagar..."

Each time Pastor Tinu spoke, biblical heroines stepped from ancient pages into our modern world, breathing and moving as if they walked among us. I knew then that these insights—this gift—could not remain confined to our private exchanges. The world deserved to hear these voices through her unique lens.

What sets Pastor Tinu apart isn't merely her encyclopedic knowledge of biblical women (though that alone is remarkable). Rather, it's her determination to unveil what others overlook, to illuminate corners of scripture where women's stories hibernate in the shadows, waiting for someone to shine a light upon their wisdom. It is her passion to unveil the untold stories, the unspoken lessons, and the uncelebrated legacies of these iconic women. With archaeological precision and spiritual insight, she has excavated legacies buried beneath centuries of interpretation. Now, like precious artifacts restored to their original beauty, these women's stories emerge—not as dusty relics, but as living testaments offering practical wisdom for today's challenges.

Pastor Tinu's love affair with the women of the Bible is contagious, and this devotional is a testament to her dedication to sharing their stories with the world. What I admire the most about her is her willingness to dig deeper, to learn from the unlikeliest of heroes, and to share those lessons with clear actionable steps that can transform your own life.

This devotional isn't merely to be read; it is to be experienced. It deserves a special place on your nightstand, yet paradoxically, it shouldn't remain there alone. Share it with your daughter, your mother, your sister, your friend. Gather in circles and discuss these revelations. Or simply sit in solitude, turning pages and finding yourself reflected in stories written millennia ago.

I am honored to have witnessed Pastor Tinu's journey, and I'm thrilled that she's finally sharing this beautiful gift with the world and profoundly grateful that she has finally brought these illuminations beyond our personal conversations. This book represents not an endpoint but a beginning—the first blossoms of a garden long tended in private, now flourishing in public view.

Standing firmly in your corner, celebrating every word,

With love and admiration, Mildred Kingsley-Okonkwo
