A Cup of Comfort, Women of the Bible Devotional: Daily Reflections Inspired by Scripture's Most Beloved Heroines

Let’s face it, regardless of our daily routines or obligations we can all use a bit of comfort from time to time.

Mary and Jeremiah fall in love, and Mary gets pregnant. She then finds that Jeremiah is a rogue.
