Proverb 31 is a brilliantly written
poem that shows how the Father feels about
His daughters—it unfolds
beautiful truths about
who we are as women and
why we are so important to Him.
Who can find a virtuous woman? This is an age-old question that can both inspire and intimidate. The saintly sister described in Proverbs 31 is nothing short of astonishing: an ideal wife and mother, a valued contributor to society, and a tireless proponent of all that is good and right. In viewing these qualities as a goal, women can often fall prey to this passage’s common outcome: feelings of discouragement and inadequacy. Many women are left to wonder, Who could possibly embody such a perfect specimen of womanhood?
With Hebrew, humor, and reassurance, author Tamara Uzelac Hall injects a much-needed dose of reality into women’s interpretation of this section of scripture with this truth: all of us are virtuous. This book teaches how to embrace the unique and impactful role you already play and will help you discover a truth that will change the way you view your life: no matter your progress on the path, thou art already a virtuous woman!
Tamara Uzelac Hall grew up in Utah and Missouri. She fully intended to get married and raise her twelve children while putting her husband through medical school . . . but God had other plans. She went to college and received both her bachelor's and master's degrees from BYU. She served a mission in Fresno, California. Then she worked as a social worker until God steered her life in a completely different direction and she became a full-time seminary and institute teacher. After buying a house and settling nicely into a family ward, she was set up on yet another blind date, this one with a widower, which miraculously worked out and catapulted her into married life and the role of an insta-mom to two little girls. Currently, she and her husband are the parents of four girls and live in Utah. She is a host for Time Out for Women and a featured speaker at Temple Square Youth Conferences, and she also speaks at Retreat for Girls, girls camps, and BYU Women's Conferences. She loves all things scriptural and is a lifelong student of the Hebrew language. A good flash mob makes her cry, she is a (self-proclaimed) champion Oreo eater, and she believes that cheese is God's way of saying, "Hey, everything is going to be okay."
