Women of the Bible

About this book

The second volume in the Faith Lessons series moves into the New Testament, and into the company of women whose lives changed at the point where they met Jesus.

Mary, who said yes before she understood what she was agreeing to. Mary Magdalene, who was the first to be sent with the news. The Samaritan woman at the well, who had every reason to expect to be ignored and was not. Lydia, who heard, believed, and immediately opened her house. Their stories carry fear that gets faced, shame that gets lifted, and courage that turns into a church meeting in someone's front room.

Each of the thirty days gives you the account, then the question underneath it, then a prayer. The reading is designed for a woman who wants to grow closer to God in the middle of a full week rather than in an ideal one.

It reads on its own, and it sits in the middle of a three volume journey through the women of Scripture.
