The Life Giver; Shiphrah's Story

The Life Giver: Shiphrah's Story is the tenth book in the Ordinary Women of the Bible fiction series.

Coming from generations of midwives, it was only natural that Shiphrah follow in her family members' footsteps. However, her journey as a midwife is not as simple as she'd hoped. Torn away from her family as a child and sold as a slave, Shiphrah struggles to find her place and her freedom. But things change after she saves the lives of her master's wife and their child during a difficult birth.

Now free, Shiphrah can truly fulfill her calling and, perhaps, even gain a family of her own. And yet, change is coming, and events take a dark turn when the king of Egypt demands that the midwives see to it that all male Hebrew babies die.

As one who helps bring life into the world, how can she obey this cruel edict? With the help of El Shaddai, can Shiphrah find the courage to do the right thing?
