What does it truly mean to be "kept" by God? In I Am My Sister's Keeper, Oried E. Graves delivers a powerful and restorative exploration of biblical womanhood and the divine duties assigned to mankind. Drawing from the foundational truth of Genesis 1:26-28, Graves argues that every sister is created in the equal image and likeness of God, designed to reflect His glory in the present world.
This book journeys through the dispensations of time, highlighting the essential roles of women-from Eve, the mother of all living, to Mary, the mother of our Redeemer. By examining the lives of faithful sisters like Ruth, Esther, Deborah, and Mary Magdalene, Graves illustrates how women have consistently been instrumental in defeating the works of the enemy and advancing God's kingdom.
In this book, you will discover:
- Divine Purpose: How to identify and fulfill the specific spiritual duties God has assigned to you.
- Spiritual Warfare: Insights into the constant battle between the "seed of the woman" and the serpent.
- Biblical Guidance: Practical applications of faith, integrity, and loyalty for modern wives, mothers, and sisters.
- Redemption in Christ: How following Jesus Christ restores our original identity and empowers us to overcome the "glass ceilings" of the world.
I Am My Sister's Keeper is more than a study of the past; it is a call for the sisters of today to stand in their God-given authority, support their families in righteousness, and prepare for their eternal destiny in the Millennial Kingdom.
