About the Author
Introduction
A Journey Awakened by a Missing Book
I never imagined that a simple question would unlock an entire world of faith and revelation for me. It happened unexpectedly—during a teaching where someone quoted a line from Joshua 10:13 that read, “Is it not written in the book of Jasher?”
The words caught my attention—not because of what was said, but because of what followed. I reached for my Bible and read the verse again, this time slowly, carefully. There it was, right before my eyes: a reference to another book. A book not included in the sixty-six chapters I had always believed were complete. Out of curiosity, I searched for the Book of Jasher in the Bible I held… but it wasn’t there.
And that’s when the questions began.
Where was this book the Bible itself referred to? If Scripture pointed me to a text I could not find, what else had I been missing? My search led me to something I had never taken seriously before—the Ethiopian Bible, a sacred collection of books preserved for centuries by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. A canon far older and fuller than the one I knew.
It was in that moment my heart opened.
This wasn’t just about finding a missing title. It was about rediscovering the breadth and beauty of Scripture. It was about reconnecting with voices that had been silenced—not because they lacked truth, but because history, politics, and power had narrowed the boundaries of what many considered sacred. Through the Ethiopian Bible, I began to see stories I had never known existed—accounts of courageous women, prophetic dreams, divine justice, and holy defiance. I didn’t feel lost in these books; I felt found.
And now, I invite you to come with me on that journey.
This 30-day devotional is rooted in both the familiar and the forgotten. You’ll meet women whose names you know—like Hannah, Ruth, or Mary—and others whose stories live within the pages of the Ethiopian canon: women like Judith, Susanna, and the legendary Queen of Sheba. You won’t be stepping away from your faith—you’ll be stepping deeper into it. This isn’t about adding new doctrine. It’s about awakening old truth.
My prayer is that each day opens your heart the way that one verse opened mine. That you, too, will ask questions. That you’ll follow your curiosity. That you’ll discover the vastness of God’s story and the strength of the women who carried His purposes across time, kingdoms, and continents.
You are welcome here.
Welcome to rediscovery.
Welcome to sacred remembering.
Welcome to The Ethiopian Bible Devotional for Women.

WOMAN OF UNSHAKABLE FAITH
Day 1
Queen of Sheba
The Hunger of an Ethiopian Woman for True Wisdom
1 Kings 10:1–10; 2 Chronicles 9
Scripture: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” – James 1:5 (NKJV)
She had questions no one could answer — not her neighbors, not the elders, not even the priests of her land. This Ethiopian woman, unnamed but unforgettable, carried a longing that would not be silenced. She wasn’t hungry for bread nor thirsty for wine. Her soul craved wisdom — the kind that satisfies a deeper hunger, that quiets the heart and opens the eyes. So, when whispers of a king in Jerusalem known for divine insight reached her ears, she didn’t hesitate. She gathered her questions, her treasures, and her courage, and set out on a journey that would change her forever.
The Queen of Sheba’s encounter with King Solomon, recorded in 1 Kings 10 and 2 Chronicles 9, is more than a diplomatic meeting. It’s a sacred pilgrimage. She came with purpose, not for trade, but truth. This journey wasn’t about political alliances or cultural curiosity — it was about soul satisfaction. She needed wisdom that only God could give.
When she arrived and spoke with Solomon, scripture says he answered all her questions — “there was nothing so difficult for the king that he could not explain it to her” (1 Kings 10:3). Imagine the relief that must have flooded her heart. All those late-night ponderings, all the “why”s and “how”s — finally met with answers. But the most striking part? Her response. She praised God. Not Solomon. Not herself. She recognized the true source of wisdom.
