Some examples of Biblical Mom stories that have inspired Sharon Wilharm are Mephibosheth's nurse (who only has one verse!), Rizpah, and of course Mary. While she doesn't necessarily feel that all of the mothers are "exactly like her," she has been amazed at what we can learn through their experiences. It has become clear that the people and stories of the Bible are intentionally put there by God, no matter how short or obscure they seem, and that we have a lot that we can learn from them, especially the women of the Bible.
