A Woman Through and Through
In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand―making it irrelevant―and glorify it on the other―making it everything―it’s hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called “woman.”
This book breathes fresh air into our womanhood, reminding us what life in Christ―as a woman―looks like. When we see that we are women in all we do, we can be at peace with how God has created us, recognizing womanhood as an essential part of Christ’s mission and work.

 Review 
“Bread of Life gave me the tools and motivation to get my hands covered in flour and my family feasting on fresh-baked bread. But Abigail’s words go far beyond baking―she compels me to eat and enjoy the bread of life himself. This book is for women who are hungry for something this world hasn’t been able to provide―who want to cultivate an appetite that can taste the Lord’s goodness without an undertone of cynicism, scoffing, and suspicion. I’m so grateful for the words of this sage older sister in Christ.”―Emily Jensen, coauthor, Risen Motherhood: Gospel Hope for Everyday Moments; Cofounder and Content Director, Risen Motherhood 
“If you’re into making bread, this book is definitely for you. If you aspire to be a bread baker, this book will help you get started. And if, like me at this season of my life, it’s highly doubtful that you will ever make bread, you will still be inspired by this book. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, you’ll find the pictures and descriptions of freshly made bread tantalizing. And best of all, Abigail’s devotional meditations will make you hungry for more of Jesus, the bread of life.”―Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, Founder, Revive our Hearts; Host, Revive Our Hearts 
“I admit I know almost nothing about making bread. In fact, since being diagnosed with celiac disease years ago, I don’t eat any bread (I mean delicious bread with gluten in it!). But I do know good writing and good thinking when I see it, and both are here in Abigail’s book. Her devotional meditations are thoughtful, engaging, biblical, and wise. And maybe even better for you than gluten.”―Kevin DeYoung, Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina; Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte 
“In the midst of our daily need for sustenance, Abigail delightfully and tenderly calls our hungry souls to what truly satisfies.”―Ruth Chou Simons, author, Beholding and Becoming and GraceLaced; artist; Founder, GraceLaced Co. 
“God has used his word to show me the beauty in the ordinary work I do to serve my family. He has also used the journey of baking bread to show me more of the beauty of the gospel and his kingdom. It is ordinary work, but it is also extraordinary. What is there that is like it? Matthew 13:33 tells us that God’s kingdom is like leaven that a woman hid in flour. Ordinary things, ordinary work, ordinary food, ordinary faithfulness―they all work together to accomplish glorious things. This book is a lovely reflection on this rich intersection of the ordinary and the glorious. I hope it inspires many women!”―Rachel Jankovic, author, You Who? and Loving the Little Years 
“This book is such a lovely reminder that God’s word speaks truth and that his world also speaks truth. The physical gift of baking does more than sustain us physically and give us great pleasure―it tells us something about our own sweet Savior, Jesus. The spiritual metaphors of baking are many, and Abigail calls them up masterfully, one by one. It’s so rare to find a book that is both physically beautiful and theologically weighty. In her prose, Abigail brings us something true, deep, and lovely to sink our teeth into. But in her recipes, she’s given us something worthwhile to sink our hands into. What a gift. This book will end up blessing my whole family.”―Tilly Dillehay, author, Seeing Green and Broken Bread; cohost, Home Fires podcast

Trials have a way of changing us, for better or worse. They can humble us or harden us. They can make us run to God or away from him. Perhaps your trials have resulted in a closer walk with him, or maybe he seems far away. Often, God strengthens our faith through the witness of courageous Christians who’ve gone before us. Be encouraged and challenged by these 12 portraits of faithful women who steadfastly endured many trials—including physical pain, persecution, infertility, loneliness, and oppression—and who, in their various sufferings, found Christ to be an all-sufficient Lord and Savior, steadfast, faithful, and true.
