5.0 out of 5 stars Another Success!!, July 28, 2005

By	Thomas A. Lang (Hummelstown, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One can't help but love the writing style and presentation of the authors Father Trigilio and Father Brighenti! If you liked "Catholicism For Dummies" and "The Everything Bible Book" from these authors, then don't hesitate before picking up a copy of this one too. It's an easy and fun read, as well as a phenomenal resource for Religious Ed. teachers, Bible Study groups, prayer groups and everyone else who has questions from time-to-time about people in the Bible. If these two authors keep it up, a library of their books will be just about all one needs!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Overview, June 17, 2006

By	Todd Alexander "Brand Evangelist" (Earth...for now) - See all my reviews

I enjoyed the overview. This will be a good book for those who would like to brush-up on the women of the Bible but especially for beginners who have not read much about them!
