Within ten engaging monologues, the influential stories of biblical women, drawn from both the Old and New Testaments, come alive as each shares her thoughts, emotions, and experiences of faith.
In voices that still speak to us today, Eve, Hannah, Naomi, Ruth, Esther, Lady Wisdom, Mary Mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Martha of Bethany, and Mary of Bethany bring us powerful messages from God’s word. While exploring the details of these women’s lives and perspectives, each drama also offers valuable lessons to be learned from their stories and views that highlight their courage, faith, and ability to inspire those around them. Included is guidance on how to perform these dramas, with tips on memorization and characterization, staging, props, and costumes.
“This resource of thoroughly researched and well-written dramas will be a valuable addition to any Bible study or church organization desiring to explore and to learn from the lives of women of the Bible. …”

Tell us a little about yourself. I accepted Jesus as my savior at the age of ten. I married my high school sweetheart and together we raised a family of three children in a loving, Christ centered home. I received a B.A. Degree from California State University East Bay in English Literature and a Library Tech Degree from Chabot College, Hayward. After 65 years of marriage, the Lord called my husband home. I now reside with my daughter in the bountiful Central Valley of California. Daughters of God is my first published book.
What was your motivation behind this project? I have created, developed, and presented these monologues for women over the past 25 years for church services and conferences, women's retreats and Bible study groups. Through the performance of these dramas, lives have been changed and people have come to a closer relationship with Jesus our Savior. I am now overjoyed to publish and offer this book of monologues to other women who can go forth and perform for new audiences.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? The ten women portrayed in this book are Eve, Hannah, Ruth, Naomi, Queen Esther, Lady Wisdom, Mary of Nazareth, Mary Magdalene, Mary and Martha of Bethany. Each character tells us her life story, which includes pain, defeat, and sorrow. Each character tells us how, through faith, trust , and prayer, God was ever present in her life and lifted her out of deep despair into the joy of the Lord. Their stories give hope and inspiration to the reader, and when performed, to the audience as well. I want readers, performers, and audiences to experience a personal relationship with God the Father and Jesus the Savior. I want those who see my dramas performed to know that the Holy Spirit of God dwells in the hearts of those who trust in Him; that Jesus walks beside us on our journey; that He hears our prayers and answers them in His will, and that through Jesus we are empowered and strengthened.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: In addition to the script for each drama, my book also includes instructions for performing the drama, and helpful hints on memorizing and presenting the story in a believable way. I also give ideas for costumes, props, and stage settings.
