“The prayers and courage of faithful women, and childless women in particular, are often the means by which God rescues his people from the tyranny and abuse of faithless men. Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, the Israelite midwives, Ruth, Hannah, Abigail, Esther, Elizabeth, Mary: God revels in overthrowing the strong through vessels of weakness.”

~Alistair Roberts and Andrew Wilson, “Echoes of Exodus,” 88
