So much has been written and said about the mother of our Lord, but who was she really? How should we view her in light of Jesus? In this first part of a two part message on Mary, the mother of Jesus, Dr. Deb first looks at the backdrop to this young woman's life and then at what we can glean from her to help all of us be true women of God.

How well do you persevere in your requests before God? Does He delight in that perseverance? In the second part of Dr. Deb's lesson on Hannah, she speaks more specifically about this great woman's prayerful perseverance and the faith we can all have that God not only hears those prayers, but will answer them.

Where do you go first when life doesn't seem to be working out? The story of Hannah isn't only a beautiful picture of how we should pray, but it is a beautiful story showing us THAT we should pray. Join Dr. Deb Waterbury in this first of her two-part look at Hannah, a biblical woman of prayer.

Do you ever wonder where God is in the middle in the tragedy? Do you ever have doubts that His plan is truly for your good as it is also to His glory?

God uses normal people--even sinful people--to magnify His glory. In this week's Windows of the Heart program, Dr. Deb begins a two-part lesson on Sarah, the wife of Abraham.
