Covenant Daughters

They walked with Him, served Him, wept with Him, and witnessed that He lives.
The women of the New Testament lived during the mortal ministry of Jesus Christ. Some came to Him in need of healing. Some listened at His feet. Some followed Him in discipleship. Some stood near His cross when others had fled. And some became the first witnesses of His Resurrection.
Their world was very different from ours, yet their questions still speak to every disciple today:

• How do I recognize the Savior's voice in my own life?
• Can Christ heal wounds that others cannot see?
• What does true discipleship look like when faith requires sacrifice?
• How do I remain devoted when I do not yet understand the Lord's full plan?

In Covenant Daughters: Women of the New Testament-Volume 2: Walking with Christ, Jason Nielson explores the lives of twenty-one women who encountered Jesus Christ during His mortal ministry and in the earliest days of the Church.
From Elisabeth's inspired greeting and Mary's willing submission to the Lord's will, to the woman with the issue of blood reaching for the hem of His garment, Martha and Mary learning at His feet, the widow offering her mites, the women who ministered of their substance, and Mary Magdalene standing at the empty tomb, these women reveal the Savior's character with remarkable intimacy.

Each chapter approaches these women not as background figures or simple moral examples, but as real disciples who experienced illness, grief, social rejection, spiritual hunger, family responsibility, courage, devotion, and transforming faith. Their lives show that Jesus Christ saw women, taught women, healed women, defended women, trusted women, and called women to witness of Him.

Written for everyday members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this book combines narrative storytelling, scriptural reflection, historical context, and personal application to help readers:

• Better understand the women of the New Testament
• Recognize how the Savior ministered to women individually
• Develop Christlike attributes through their examples of faith
• Deepen their testimony of the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ
• Draw closer to the Savior through personal discipleship

These women did not merely observe the ministry of Jesus Christ from a distance. They walked with Him, served Him, trusted Him, mourned Him, and testified that He lives.
Their stories invite each reader to consider a sacred truth:
The same Savior who called Mary by name still knows and calls His disciples today.
