Powerful Stories of Women in the Bible that Reveal God's Mercy and Love
From well-known women like Eve and Esther to those lesser known like Jochebed and Zipporah, women of the Bible play a vital role in God's timeless story of redemption.
This book traces the stories of three dozen of the most important women in Scripture, each handpicked by God to play a crucial part in his gracious plan for all humanity. Every chapter begins with a short biography followed by an explanation of how each woman fits into the overall narrative of the Gospel message, pointing to God's love for the individual as well as his larger plan to redeem sinners through the sending of his son. The Bible is the story of God's relationship with his people--men, women, Jews, Gentiles, saints, and sinners. But this book reveals that it's also the story of his relationship with you.
*****************************************************************************
This collection of stories about various women in the Bible shows us God's love and redemption in a fascinating way. There are 31 different chapters in this book, so it would work great as a monthly devotional or Bible study. Each chapter gives us a quote, Scripture References, a biography, the role in redemption, by the numbers facts, and questions to ponder about each of the women. The women are placed in the order that they are found in the Bible, so that makes them easy to find if you are looking for a particular one. I did not like how the authors used many versions of the Bible. I only read the King James Bible, so I did not really appreciate the use of the other versions.
I received a complementary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
