Hardcover Description

This one-year devotional program offers contemporary Christian women a chance to study the lives and legacies of 52 women in Scripture. Some, such as Eve or "Lot's wife," are prominent and well-known biblical figures. Even the lesser-known women--such as the daughter-in-law of Judah, Tamar, who disguised herself as a prostitute--offer provocative and fascinating stories. What shines through in this well-written book is the authors' great respect for these gritty, intelligent, and occasionally flawed women. The authors briefly tell each woman's life story in an enchanting storytelling voice, helping readers to see how these ancient stories still have meaning centuries later. The book is well-organized, offering a woman's story for every week of the year, as well as a week's worth of structured lessons and reflections.


Customer Reviews

Excellent discussion topics

The best part about the book is the list of questions about the woman in each chapter, which makes you think a little deeper about the woman's story in the Bible. The questions are ideal for either personal or group study. The sections with background information were also very helpful. Since I am a little old-fashioned and prefer to use the King James Version of the Bible with its more poetic language, I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5.


A Good Devotional for Christian Women

Women of the Bible is a nice devotional for Christian women that specifically discusses the lives of biblical women. By looking more indepth at the women that are mentioned in the bible, we can begin to analyze what their strengths and weakness were in the Lord and see how that relates to us. It is easy to sometimes gloss over the stories of some of the women as the reference is short and seemingly uneventful. But every woman's story has meaning and this book does a good job of teasing apart some of this and helping the reader apply it to their own life.


Excellent devotional

I already owned this devotional but bought it for several of my friends as gifts. I have enjoyed going through it week by week and have learned a lot about women I have heard about before as well as those I am less familiar with. Although there will be some questions in every devotional that are a little cheesy, this one does a good job overall of asking relevant questions. I would recommend this book for any Christian woman (single, married, divorced, etc.) who wants to learn more about women of the Bible and continue to grow in her faith.
