Book Description
In a day when the ministries of female church leaders and "women preachers" are still sometimes regarded as unusual or even unbiblical, it is important to acknowledge and celebrate that women's leadership in ministry has been part and parcel of Methodism from its earliest days. Renewed appreciation of this strand of our spiritual DNA is vital for the fullest expression of gifts for ministry in the Church today. Yes, women's stories have often been consigned to the footnotes of history, making it necessary to read them into the narrative based on scanty clues and tantalizing breadcrumbs that sometimes raise more questions than answers. Conversely, when there a written record does exist, it has often been suppressed and/or repackaged downplaying their contributions. While the past few decades have seen an increase in interest in women of early Methodism, much of their stories are still untold or forgotten.

Book Description
Shifra Horn's beautifully imagined novel tells the story of five generations of women in one family against the backdrop of one hundred years in Jerusalem. The story begins with the birth of the family's first boy to Amal, the last generation. Her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother are overjoyed, because the birth of a healthy boy means that the curse against the women of the family has been broken. They tell Amal the story of those "foremothers": Mazal, the orphan, whose ill-fated marriage initiates the curse; her daughter Sara, whose golden hair is a symbol for her power to heal; Sara's daughter Pnina-Mazal, the unwanted child whose talent for knowing others' thoughts brings both joy and sorrow; and her daughter Geula, Amal's mother, whose sharp intellect is her gift and her burden.
