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.

Purifying Pain

Digging up Flowers
Psalm 31:1 In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. Depression chased me right into the presence of God. I wasn't even clear about what was bothering me until we had a breakfast picnic together on the floor...
Tightly Secure in Him
“Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we...
Anchor of our Soul

Replacing Insecurity with Security
