Daughters Of Fire: Heroines Of The Bible
Ebooks Online

Biblical stories of valorous women--from Eve to Yael--have helped shape the human character and spirit. Rarely, though, has the essence of these heroines been revealed as poignantly as it is in Daughters of Fire. Fran Manushkin’s sensitive retellings of stories from the Bible and Jewish tradition portray strength and honor, but also jealousy and fear, and Caldecott Medalist Uri Shulevitz’s heroic illustrations highlight the bold, passionate essence of each woman and her world. The result is a collection of tales with heroines who are, above all, human.

This book is just wonderful. Ms. Manushkin presents the stories of the matriarchs and other women from the tanakh with such character, and in such an honest and vibrant style, I have to admit that I was moved to tears when I read it. Yasher koach!
