 Incredible! October 10, 2007
I LOVE this book. I have been using it this past year and am now buying it for friends!
Women of the Bible for Women of Today May 26, 2007
I really love this book! It's a versatile resource for personal home devotional time OR a group Bible study (I know, because I'm currently using it for both). My favorite part is the first day's reading, where they take the featured woman's story and retell it in a compelling, dramatic way that draws you into her experiences. I feel much closer to many of the women of Biblical times after spending a week with them through this book.
 Women of the Bible January 15, 2007
This is a great book to see how women made a mark in the bible and their part in history. Women of the Bible is a great study book for sunday school or women's bible classes. The book provides profound views about the characteristics of the women and why they acted as they did. Very good book to have.
A book of Inspiration August 29, 2006

I ordered Women of the Bible because I've heard so many wonderful things about this book over the years. I ordered one for my mom and me. We both are getting so much out of it and growing in our walk with the Lord. The book focuses on the women who made such a difference in there lives leaning on the Lord. It was also a great book on just being able to relate to someone from the Bible who is a woman. The parts that have impacted me have been on women who were struggling with fertility. It was nice to know that they were dealing with this issue even back then. This is a must read for anyone wanting to grow and learn more about the Bible.
 Not Good for Group Study August 23, 2006
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I am currently leading a Bible study group using this book and I agree with the reviewer who stated that the questions do not lead to much discussion. The questions are kind of odd, like When in your life have you succumbed to _______? Then all the ladies just sit and look uncomfortable.
Also, some of the women of the Bible are so obscure, it's hard to "learn" anything from their lives - i.e. Potiphar's wife, Lot's wife - both were particularly hard to study for an hour. The narratives are interesting, but sometimes take too much creative license.
For more spiritual depth, I suggest "Lifetime Guarantee" by Bill Gillham. That's the one I wish my group was studying right now.
