When the author is not the author

This book is a good resource, but Jack Hayford is in fact the executive editor of the series and not the author, a fact many seem to misunderstand. The book is in fact well-written by a woman named Wendy Parrish, and does indeed represent the gracious and publicly acknowledged views of Pastor Hayford concerning the biblical right of women to hold high leadership positions in ministry, although for reasons unknown to this reviewer, none do so on his platform in his church.

Excellent, thorough study for women

"God's Daughters and God's Women" is an extensive study of the main stories in the Bible that involve women. The heavy hitters such as Sarah, Miriam, Deborah, Ruth, Esther and Mary are covered in their own chapters, some even filling two. The chapters are the perfect length for week to week study, with questions and reflections to fill in. Background scripture and related stories are used extensively, a real plus to the teacher or facilitator. Important words are translated from original Hebrew and Greek to show differences in written meaning as opposed to the meaning we understand today. Each chapter also has a topic (faith, hospitality, purpose, etc.) which can spur furthur group discussion. An excellent study for women, even those with a lot of Bible study background. Beginners may find it frustrating looking up all background scriptures.
