Beyond DNA: Inheriting Spiritual Strength from the Women in Your Family Tree

Beyond DNA: Inheriting Spiritual Strength from the Women in Your Family Tree Who is your hero? Is she a politician? An actress or artist? Is she a spirited evangelist at your church? We all have strong, female role models that we look up to, admire, and respect; however, most of those role models exist outside the framework of our families. What about our own mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and beyond? What heroic traits exist in our own hereditary lineages, and why aren't we more aware of them? Author Selena Post spent seven years researching her ancestry; Beyond DNA: Inheriting Spiritual Strength from the Women in Your Family Tree is the culmination of her findings. Post looked at fifteen women in her lineage, and by observing their lives-and the historical events in the background-she was able to understand their spiritual strengths and weaknesses, as well as how both affected their lives and the lives of their offspring. It's important to gain insight from those we know and love. Although not a guidebook for family tree research, Beyond DNA shows Post's process as she discovered the inspirational lives of her ancestors. Post's newfound knowledge changed her life and taught her how to live as a godly woman. What spiritual gifts exist in your family, and how will your legacy affect the young women to come?
