Publisher's summary

Number One New York Times Best Seller!

The women of the Bible lived timeless stories - by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.

People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.

In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel's Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.

From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.

The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.

Things I never noticed before

This book showed me things I’d never realized before about the women in the Bible. How all their lives connected and led to the birth & resurrection of the Lord Jesus. The reader/author did an excellent job of bringing everyone to life. I will listen to this again.

Deep insight into the lives of Biblical women

This book is fabulous. I learned so much about many women in the Bible. I really like how Shannon draws parallels between these women in the Bible and women today - our struggles, our feelings, our responsibilities. Centuries apart, we are really not that different. Knowing that, it makes the lessons we are to learn from them even more relevant. I am so grateful to Shannon and her team for this book.
