They were ordinary people. Most would not make headlines in any other history book but God's. Yet the women of the Old Testament made critical choices that led to extraordinary outcomes. Through faith and strong character, they rescued their families, led people out of bondage, gave birth to kings and even saved a nation. As you explore with Gladys Hunt the stories of twelve Old Testament women, you will come to understand the far-reaching consequences of your own everyday choices and actions. Now available in IVP's revised LifeGuide Bible Study format, Women of the Old Testament features questions for starting group discussions and for personal reflection, as well as a new "Now or Later" section following each session.

Format:Paperback
This is an easy to understand, yet insightful study of the women of the Old Testement. Each lesson focuses on on characteristic that makes that particular woman stand out. It also helps the student to see themselves in light of that characteristic. I would recommend it to both beginning and advanced Bible Students.

This book is useful for studies in specific women within the context of the OT and how they both reacted to a "God event" in their lives, as well as how their participation in the event helps shape the context and story of the OT

Each lesson in this book, designed for 60-minute studies, is thorough, yet concise. It is great for a small group Bible study in which the leader facilitates discussion. Questions with scripture references guide the participants as they prepare each week. Especially for the leader are tips for success, as well as answers to key questions, in the back of the book. The women are sometimes lesser-known individuals who did powerful things to aid God's kingdom. Our group studied the book in two six-week segments. It is a powerful little book by Gladys Hunt.
