Stephan Kilgore
The Forgotten Strength God Gave Every Woman
by Stephan Kilgore
Not a Backup gives language to the weight many women have carried for years without knowing how to name it. It is not a book about rebellion. It is not a call to shrink. It is a biblical recovery of feminine strength as God designed it: powerful, aligned, discerning, and life-giving.
