Shannon Bream Hopes To Draw Readers To God With New Book: ‘He Is Always Present In Your Life’
By Movieguide® Contributor
FOX NEWS anchor Shannon Bream is sharing stories of Biblical families with her new book, “The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak: Lessons on Faith from Nine Biblical Families.”
The New York Times bestselling author is excited to share these stories and the inspiration we can draw from them.
“If you think about finances and family and infertility and all of these different things that women faced, they just really translated so we knew that there were still a lot of strong female stories in the Bible that hadn’t been told or needed to be elaborated on so we said, ‘Alright, let’s plunge into these mother-daughter relationships,’” she said.
One of the difficulties of writing the book was deciding which stories would make the cut.
“I think sometimes there are easy obvious ones like Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the Old Testament telling of Esther,” Bream explained. “And then others, I think, I really try to choose some who resonate with me. Some of these are really small stories where we don’t even have the name of the woman involved but maybe there was a miracle or they really saw God work in their lives when they were desperate and needed Him to show up.”
Bream also looked to her own life and relationship with her mother for inspiration.
“I was really blessed to grow up with a mom who was really a baby Christian when I was little too and we almost kind of grew together in that she is the best example of someone in my life who is truly Christ-like,” she shared. “My mom is the very living embodiment of what I think we should be as Christians.”
With her new book, Bream hopes to draw people towards God as they face struggles and hardships.
“I hope that will draw them to God to see that He is for you in your family squabbles, in your high moments, in your low moments, when you’ve made bad decisions or good decisions,” she said. “He is always present in your life. We see that in these women thousands of years ago and know that it’s true today.”
Movieguide® previously reported on the release of “The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak:”
Fox News host and bestselling author Shannon Bream announced a follow-up to the hugely popular “Women of the Bible Speak.”
“Watching the success of The Women of the Bible Speak was a highlight of my career and an experience for which I am forever grateful,” Bream said. “During the challenging year of the pandemic, hearing the feedback from readers across the country was an inspiration for me to continue in my journey of sharing the stories that I love and have helped me through hard times.
“I am ecstatic to continue on this journey as the first franchise author for FOX News Books,” she added.
Bream’s new book is titled “The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak: Lessons on Faith from Nine Biblical Families” and highlights the stories of biblical family members like Moses’ mother, Jochebed; the daughter of King Saul, and the wife of King David, Michal.
