The women of the Bible have a strong, relevant message for women today that has been lost underneath layers of traditional interpretations and the expectation that God does his most important work through men. Crucial dimensions of their lives have been muted, forgotten, or passed over. Their strong voices are silent at a time when women are searching for answers that will hold up under the pressures and challenges confronting them today.

This book brings the women of the Bible into the 21st century by recovering their powerful message for contemporary women.

The author presents various examples of women who God used to promote His plan.

This is a production note about this recording: chapters 6, 8-11 have the recording of the chapter twice. It makes the book appear long than it is and causes confusion for the listener. Please consider editing and republishing.

Unashamed Truth

Great book but the audio has double chapters and the chapter numbers are not correct. So chapter 7 is actually chapter 6 and repeats itself twice. It’s hard to follow along and know where you are.

Oh that I would have discovered this book 15 years ago! Our destiny as women is in being Gods image bearer, which may or may not include marriage and motherhood. Which may or may not mean having a “perfect marriage or family”. I knew that but couldn’t have validated it over and over from the women in Scripture until I listened to this book! Read it!!

This book blows me away!

This book was well written and the narrator was engaging. However, I was expecting to gain more insightful information pertaining to background of the characters vs the intellectual - hypothetical assumptions.

Title Misleading

I was hoping this book would be more about the women's [in the Bible] stories. If you don't know their background or who they were you won't follow the author. The book focus on the value of women and has a repetitive message that "Women count" . I wish I hadn't bought it.

Disappointed

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Material embarrasingly retro.

What could Carolyn Custis James have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Too EuroAm, too fundy, too accepting of male dominaion. Needs rewrite.

What didn’t you like about Ruth Bloomquist’s performance?

was okay

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment (I really wanted to like it). It seemed so condescending to women.

Quite European-American Fundamentalist, ew!
