Before I became a born again Christian, I was very much "one of the boys" in that most of my friends were men as I seemed to get on better with them than with women. I realised after becoming a Christian, that I needed to develop my "femininity" and to relate more to women - which is why I bought this Bible. When I first saw it and looked through it, I didn't like it much as I felt it looked TOO feminine and that it wasn't much of a study bible, etc. But each time I picked it up, I became more and more struck by how beautiful it is - the purple leather cover, lettering and lovely font - not forgetting the great inspirational letters. I found myself becoming more and more drawn to this Bible. To me, this Bible has a strong spiritual "presence", for everytime I open it, it evokes everything that I believe a Christian woman should be - warm, loving, inspiring, comforting, maternal and supportive. I know that may sound a litte strange to some of you, but, thats what I sense (my other Bibles don't have the same effect). I now carry this Bible with me to work and home again because its so wonderful to have! Sisters, I truly recommend this Bible to you. God bless you all!

As a young reader (20), I loved the book, Women of Destiny. It was a great encouragement to me as a young lady. It showed me how God can use women just as well as men. I was struggling with knowing for sure if God had called me into the ministry. However, after reading this book and others like it and doing a lot of praying, God showed me that children and youth ministry is where he wants me to be. I want to thank all the many women who took the time to share their stories in the book. May God bless you always.

I recieved the bible as a gift from my sister and I have never felt so understood as I do whenever I read the notes, from these wonderful women of God it makes me understand and know the great love God has for me and everything that concerns me, I just want to say thank you and keep up the good work you all are an inspiration to me.

I have been reading from this bible for a year now. Dispersed throughout the books of the bible are interjections of sample prayers that relate to the theme or story on the page. It is a fantastic display of "application" where Gods word is concerned. The user may have someone or some situation come to mind as she reads the word and/or the sprinkled commentaries throughout. The mentoring bible teaches them to pray accordingly, applying what the lesson taught.
The commentary at the beginning of each book of the bible is also very good. Marilyn is an astute student of the word. Accomplished teacher, minister and administrator. Highly qualified to mentor. From a teacher stand-point she almost almost unparalleled!
. Reccommend it to every woman. Especially those who care about others and having a clear understanding of what the bible is all about.Women Of Destiny Bible Women Mentoring Women Through The Scriptures

After looking at several book stores and finding out that this Bible was not available anymore, I turned to Amazon.com and found a copy. The price was within reason and the service was good. I receive it in timely manner and the product was in good condition. I will order again when the opportunity arises because the service was good.

I was led to this Bible by a wonderful Christian woman. We were a group of mothers, all praying for our children and she told us about this Bible....it is filled with wisdom and insight! The scripture is, of course, the meat and potatoes. There are little articles about being filled with the Holy Spirit and learning to pray in the Word. There's a Treasure Chest at the beginning with scriptures to pray for all different aspects of a woman's life. Why they stopped printing it, I will never know. I can't find it anymore. I've gone on Ebay and bought every single one. I got one for my mother, and put some away for my own daughters. If you can find one......grab it and don't let go!! It's a beautiful Bible and I am blessed to read it.

I' am someone who enjoys reading God's word. I really wanted to add this book to my collection because it reminds me of what my purpose is. It helps me stay grounded in God's word. It's for women. I love the inserts that's added to encourage you along the way.

I purchased a paperback version of this bible years ago from a local grocery story, but never used it because I had others. PURPLE just happens to be my FAV color and is used in this particular bible, and I LOVE the "Women of Destiny" inserts and stories and the references used throughout the bible. I used it until my bible torn into 4-pieces! :-@

Getting this bible... practically brand new (only thing marked was the title page that I simply ripped out)... as a hardback.. inexpensively priced was one of my greatest investments EVER!

I've had this Bible for years and just ordered another for a friend. The stories and lessons that are shared by women throughout the Bible help to guide, clarify and instruct on the messages in corresponding verses. Their stories bring the message down to an everyday level that is applicable for me. So many of the stories are pertinent to my life and things that I have gone through and am going through. I have enjoyed this Bible immensely and use it every morning in my private devotional. The Bible, as well as the lessons, have brought me hope and peace.
