Life Lessons From Women of the Word

Here is a book for the times that we now live in, though it's about the women of the Bible who lived thousands of years ago. It's an interesting view of the situations these women found themselves in and how they dealt with them. God used ordinary and extraordinary women to impact society of that day and even now, their lives still speak to us. Get a view of the world from the perspective of Eve, the first woman to live in it. See how Deborah, the only female judge to lead Israel handled her tremendous responsibility. Learn about Abigail the intelligent beautiful woman who was married to a fool and how she dealt with his stupidity. Observe Miriam the woman who decided to question God's authority in her life and the consequences of her decision. Walk with Queen Vashti, a woman who would not compromise her principles regardless of the cost. See how God was preparing the stage for Queen Esther and how she used her influence to save the Jewish people. Lament with Tamar the young lady who suffered abuse and finally watch the grooming of Ruth as she followed the wise instructions of her mother-in-law, Naomi. The mistakes and the wisdom of these women are yet speaking to us today, and the lessons that we can learn from them are priceless. This is truly a wonderful book for use in women's groups, seminars and book clubs. Though it is written about women, men are sure to enjoy the stories and learn from the lessons. An easy, enjoyable read that's great for discussions and one that will make you pay closer attention to the Women of the Bible.
