About the Author

Two years before men walked on the moon, Selena Post began her career in aerospace at Houston’s Johnson Space Center. Three decades later, she had specialized in computer security and managed a program that received national recognition. With each job assignment, her tasks increasingly included motivating coworkers toward excellence. Career achievements, even in rocket science, benefit mankind in this earthly, temporal life where everything will end.

A Christian since the age of ten, she sought a unique venue to inspire women toward more eternal goals. Women can influence countless generations by attaining personal spiritual strength, then providing positive spiritual leadership for their children and grandchildren.

Seeking role models for her own spiritual journey, she discovered evidence of faith among her ancestral women. By studying the lives of her ancestors, and seeking evidence of their worship, Bible study, and prayer habits, she learned how they endured life’s challenges. By evaluating the evidence of faith in previous generations, Selena found successful women to emulate. Inspired by what she found, Selena insightfully motivates women to supplement traditional genealogical research to identify their own spiritual history.

With this book, documenting stories of fifteen women in her own ancestry, she describes an engaging process for women to learn of the spiritual giants in their past, then provide spiritual guidance for the eternal benefit of future generations. Selena provides insights to facilitate genealogical research while encouraging spiritual stamina among her readers.

Selena has retired from aerospace four times, and lives in Houston, Texas, where she attends Second Baptist Church.
