The publisher asked Weems if she had ever written down some of the issues she had dealt with in her speech. It got me to think about just putting down in writing some of the things I was already doing. It was a matter of bringing together my speeches, study lessons and devotional material. The book is a collection of devotionals on women in the Bible and lessons of spirituality to be drawn from those Bible stories. The book was printed by LuraMedia Press and has gone through four reprintings and sold more than 45,000 copies.
