Women of the Bible: Inspiring, Sorrowing, Evil, Abused, and Unexpected

Several women stand out when reading the Bible and, understandably, most studies of biblical women focus on them. Delving into the other lesser-known women mentioned in the Bible is an eye-opening adventure. Women of the Bible explores what we can learn from over 100 biblical women (including the big seven: Eve, Deborah, Ruth, Esther, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Mary), some of whom are only found in one or two verses. By grouping similar women together, we get a picture of how God has shown love to, has worked in and through, and has singled out women since the beginning of time.

The thirteen weeks of the study include the following:

* Leaders of the faith

* Admirable foreign women

* Abused women

* Humble servants

* Women who made their own way

* The worst women

* Women of great sorrow

* Women who did the right thing

* The good, bad, or some of both

An in-depth Leader's Guide is included which provides additional questions for groups or individuals.
