A master of fiction, Jill Eileen Smith has been a great name in the world of Christian writing, with award-winning series such as the Wives of King David, Wives of the Patriarchs, and Daughters of the Promised Land. In her work, she expertly combines her biblical research with her fiction writing skills and brings three-thousand-year-old characters to life for her readers. Now, Smith branches into the world of nonfiction with her new title, She Walked Before Us , researching famous women of the Bible in-depth and pulling lessons from their lives for the growth of women today. The book is sure to be a page-turner and a life-changer!
Angelia L. White , creator and founder of Hope for Women magazine; author of Yes Sisters
In this captivating book, Jill Eileen Smith brings the biblical stories of twelve women to life with thought-provoking clarity. She invites us to step into the flesh-and-bone reality of each woman, then carefully walks alongside us on each journey as a trusted guide, offering wisdom and practical encouragement in the midst of their disappointment, despair, delight, and doubt. Far more than a Bible study, She Walked Before Us is a powerful and meaningful bridge that connects us to a heritage of hope and redemption.
Ronne Rock , storyteller, speaker, and author of One Woman Can Change the World
In She Walked Before Us , Jill Eileen Smith walks readers through the lives of twelve Old Testament women, giving voice to their stories in fresh, new ways. By adding her own experience and thought-provoking questions, Smith illuminates the path for modern women, leading us through difficult challenges into victory and joy.
Gwen Ford Faulkenberry , author of Jesus, Be Near Me and A Beautiful Life ; coauthor of Mornings with Jesus
Have you ever found yourself feeling common or typical? Do you feel your life is just run-of-the-mill? Or do you ever think you arent special or unique, and you wonder how God could use a person like you? Well, I invite you to come along on an adventure with award-winning author Jill Eileen Smith as she shares the captivating accounts of twelve ordinary women from the Old Testament. Through the challenging terrain of Scripture, Smith helps her readers unearth nuggets of truth from women in the past who have left footprints that guide our way today. If you have been challenged by the changing seasons in your life and wonder how your unknown future could ever follow Gods plan, then let yourself be surprised and, yes, exhilarated by Gods leading.

In 2019, When Life Doesn t Match Your Dreams released as the first volume in this nonfiction collection. I didnt know what to expect from nonfiction, as it is very different from my novels. The interest in that book and the comments from readers who wrote and told me how it touched their hearts have blessed me more than I can express. Perhaps the human condition and emotions we feel are more similar than we know.
As we embark on this second edition of biblical women, I hope that whatever you are facing in your life right now, you can give it to the Lord and look to Him for the victory. Like those in the first book, these women also faced great struggles, some far worse than Ive ever known. But maybe you have known those feelings, tragedies, or fears.
In this book, we will see women who complained too much or wanted a husband who wasnt so angry. One had to accept a call from God she might not have wanted. Another lost much and gained more. One had to go back before she could go forward. Another had a great deal to forgive. Still another stood by helplessly as her son committed rape and was later murdered. And another had to deal with knowing her son had killed his brother.
How does one live through such things? And if we havent experienced them, what lessons might God teach us along the way?
Through it all, I hope you see that in every trial, circumstance, lesson, heartache, or joy, God is there and He is not silent. You may not see what He is doing behind the scenes, but He never stops seeking you. He never stops loving you. And when you are caught in the middle, in the past, or in a deep pit, remember thisothers have walked this path before you. When they cried out to God in humility and need, He listened. He is listening to you too, and calling your name. Do you hear Him?
