Sacred Story’s Library of Inspiring Women’s Stories
Sister we are in this together. Our library contains encouraging stories from women who, like you, walk through chapters of questioning, grieving, loving, hoping, and surrendering. We pray you will pass on stories because hope is contagious. Our Teaching Moments offer perspective about living your story in light of God’s Word. We love to hear how you are impacted by what you read.

A True Friend
I am 44 years old (please don’t share that with anyone). At this point in my life I know who my true friends are, and I’m very content with the line up. It’s a small group of women for whom I would take a bullet (they’ve certainly taken some for me). I’ve lived enough...
