A trophy is an exquisitely crafted reward whose brilliant shine loudly declares the winner of a battle. God’s Trophy Women are the survivors of life’s harshest battles. Having been tried and found true, they gleam with God’s approval, wisdom, and beauty. In this spirited exploration of a woman’s worth and power, Jacqueline Jakes exhorts us to carry on through trials despite fierce opposition. By enduring, Jacqueline says, we become showpieces of God’s faithful love.

“God, who is rich in mercy-God, who is the Author and Finisher of our faith-has a plan for each of His women. By strengthening us to stand through our personal storms, God gives us the opportunity to become co-creators with Him. As [we] rebuild the broken bits and pieces of our lives, we have the chance to take the worst and make it the best, to take sorrow and weave gladness, to spin straw into gold . . . You must not give in to the sorrow of perilous times but come forth triumphant. Through struggle and pain the Potter shapes and fashions you until you stand like a golden masterpiece: a trophy made fit for His use.”
-Jacqueline Jakes, from the Introduction
