Women of the Bible

About this book

The third and final volume of the Faith Lessons series goes looking in the margins.

Here are the Hebrew midwives who quietly refused a king. The widow whose oil kept pouring. The servant girl whose few words at the right moment changed the course of a story much bigger than hers. Women who are named in heaven and unnamed in the text. Several of them get a sentence in Scripture and nothing more, and that sentence turns out to be enough.

This is a book about faithfulness that no one applauds. It suits any reader who has wondered whether the quiet, unwitnessed, apparently small part she is playing counts for anything, and it answers that question thirty times over.

It completes the series, drawing from the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the edges of both, though it reads perfectly well as the first of the three you pick up.
