Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This book further expands the study of the important women of the Old and New Testaments. These characters can show us the life-lessons dealing with the ultimate surrender to God in obedience, or the failure that comes from a choice of rebellion. Women in Scripture will also provide insights for dealing with their homes and the raising of their children, all under the theme of Following God fully. New themes for understanding the woman's position before God and His plan and answers to many difficult questions are discussed at length in this new book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Find Inspiration from the Women of the Bible, June 10, 2000

By	"cdchapdel" (Phoenix, Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews

This is a workbook styled study of the women of the Bible. Its organized into daily reflections with verses to read and concepts to think about. You cover one woman per week.

I was pleasantly surprised, in that it was written by men so I was expecting a particularly subservient bent to it, but it was not. It portrays the women intelligently and gives us enlightening and positive role models.

Consider the first woman of the bible. Eve, whose reputation isn't exactly favorable, since she got us kicked out of the Garden. However, the study guide leads you through the positive aspects of that trial and tribulation, and lets you take a away the positive and inspirational contributions Eve made to all of us.

I recommend this book for any Woman seeking to further her spiritual self.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for individual or group study, May 2, 2004

By	E. Barron "alphabetjungle" (Wyomissing) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I appreciate this Bible study guide which is not just offering the same old info. This study presents fresh insights on some women frequently studied, as well as challenging me with women studied less often, for example, Deborah. It is in a workbook format. I have used this series individually and with a group and it has merit for both uses. My one complaint, particularly for group study, is that after most questions in the workbook, the authors go ahead and tell you the answer they were looking for. That makes discussion a little more challenging as we all already know the "right" answer, and tempts the student to be lazy and just look ahead. Still, this drawback can be overcome with creativity. Give this series a try if you want to dig deeper on your own or in a group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and informative study, February 9, 2008

By	S. Harris - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am in a ladies group with eight women and we are currently doing this study. Everyone has commented how much they like it.I like the way each day is set up with context and study guestions. I also like that at the end of each weeks session the final day is devoted to application, taking the truth from Gods word and applying to our lives. The study also has word studies and bits of information to help put into place what happening during the time of each women. I believe this would be a good study for everyone no matter where you are in your Christian walk. Somtimes when I start, I enjoy it so much that it is hard from me to stop with each day.
