Her Name Is Woman

Gien Karssen is timeless in her presentation of the women of the Bible. You will love how she brings to light ideas and images you seldom hear. I have taught from her two books, three times and each time, new insights are revealed through her commentary.

God Cares About Me!

This has to be the most practical Bible study ever written. When I first became a Christian I felt that there weren't many women to identify with in the Bible. There are, in reality, so many! Their lessons are as timely now as they were in Biblical days. I feel as if I understand more how God wants me to live my life, and how I can glorify Him as only a woman can!

Recommended reading for men also!

This book, is of superb literary reading. Wonderful for the theology student, the woman's group leader (a study is contained at the end of each chapter), and also for personal reading. You realise how important women were, and still are to God. Women are becoming more recognised... and through this book, you understand how, whether you work, are a Mum at home, a female church leader, a young or older woman YOUR personal importance to God... Gien Karssen is wonderful in the range of women she chooses. The only conclusions she draws are with the use of Biblical evidence, and not hear say or traditional beliefs. The only downfall? That there is no book 3.

Practical study of women in the Bible.

A tremendous book for women of all ages. A practical devotional book, as well as a great reference tool. This book is filled with analysis of the minute details given in the Bible on the women covered in this book. Well known as well as the little known women are reviewed. Practical is the word that comes to mind. Men and women can learn from this book. The author has tremendous insight and wisdom and shares them on the daily level.
