LONGWOOD, FL-First-century women lived a comparatively simpler life than we do today. We know they had it easier than we do! Nuking food, shopping online, cleaning, and going to church... Who has time to touch the hem of Jesus today, especially in the middle of rush-hour traffic? Carolyn Hilt's More Than I Imagined! Lessons in Touching the Hem (paperback, 978-1-60477-096-4) introduces the lessons of seven women from the Bible who all touched His hem. These lessons can be applied to our 21st century spiritual walk. Whether living 2,000 years ago or in the present, whether single or married, divorced or widowed, newlywed or old married, all women everywhere are the same. By looking through the eyes of each woman featured from the Bible and walking in her sandals, we can discover lessons in "hem-touching" to apply to our modern-day walk.
"Our needs are the same, our struggles have not changed, and our desires to know Him have not been altered by the passage of time," says Hilt. "Nothing has changed. We are still women, regardless of the date, and we still need to touch His hem."
Hilt brings to the book an understanding of women from all walks of life, all of whom are searching for more of Him. She co-founded three ministries with her husband and served on two nationally recognized Christian women's boards while ministering on the foreign mission fields of Okinawa and Guam. Additionally, her close work with mothers as the founder of a private Christian school gave her an insight to the needs of many of today's women-needs she found no different from those of the women of Jesus' time.
