Women of the Bible

About this book

Thirty women. Thirty days. One book that does not ask you to be further along than you are.

This is the first volume in the Faith Lessons series, and it stays in the Old Testament: Eve in the garden, Esther in the palace, and the many women in between who led, waited, served, or were written down in a single line and then forgotten. Some of them were bold. Some were quiet. Several were overlooked by everyone except God.

Each day gives you her story as Scripture tells it, then asks what it has to do with yours. The reading is short enough to finish before the house wakes up and substantial enough to sit with afterward. It suits a woman reading alone in the morning, and it works just as well as a month of material for a small group, since every chapter ends somewhere a conversation can start.

Books two and three carry the same shape into the New Testament and then into the margins of both, so the three together make a ninety day journey through the women of the Bible.
