What do Sarah, Queen Esther, Judge Deborah, the woman at the well and the daughters of Zelophehad all have in common apart from being women? It was their unusual ability to find different and unique ways of using their voices! When the Fall of Garden happened to Eve, she did not just lose her equal status to man but she also lost the influence of her voice as well and this has become the constant struggle for all women everywhere to be heard. Woman, You Have a Voice; tells the story of 10 extraordinary everyday women of the bible who did not allow their circumstances nor gender bias to prevent them from using their voices. These women left an indelible mark for other women to follow by changing the course of their communities, gaining a noteworthy inheritance and ultimately charting a new course for their own lives because they discovered the power of their voices. This book seeks to provoke women worldwide to discover and use their voices in a positive way to influence not only their churches but their communities as well. A voiceless woman is a powerless woman who is robbed of the opportunity to contribute to the betterment of humankind. All the women of the bible who used their voices wisely helped in the advancement of the church, financial institutions and human rights. Deborah proved that women could lead and work well with both sides of the aisle; Sarah got to experience the redemption of her voice through marriage and Queen Esther showed that a woman could save her people from the destructive hands of a power hungry man called Haman. Unless women everywhere use their voices we will continue to see slavery, child trafficking, prostitution, domestic violence, gender bashing and the spread of HIV/AIDS. Women harness the power of your voices today.
