We have now completed all three of Stacy Mitch's books in this series. Courageous Love, Courageous Virtue, and now Courageous Women. While we loved them all, this was hands down the favorite. With each story (eight in all) we were struck by how relevant the message of God's salvation is for us just as it was for these women of the Old and New Testament. They are filled with faith, virtue, they are sinners, they repent and yes they have great courage. God uses them all just as He uses us today to advance His plan of Salvation. An excellent format for group bible study and much discussion. We hope that there will be more from Stacy Mitch!

I have used this book with 2 Women's Bible Studies. I find it to be an excellent book for first timers in a Bible Study , as well as women who have read the Bible. The commentary and discussion questions make the stories applicable to a woman's life in 2008.

Our women's group used this book recently, breaking it up into a seven-week discussion class. It really excited the 20 participants as it was not dry or so "scholarly" that it intimidated them. We had many interesting discussions inspired by the questions at the end of each chapter. It was a great Catholic study focused on scripture and one of so few scripture studies devoted much to the Old Testament. Many of the women have asked that we use another of Mitch's books for a second study soon.
