The Most Misunderstood Women of the Bible: What Their Stories Teach Us about Thriving

By Mary E. DeMuth

Book Overview

Understanding Isn't Overrated.

Ask any woman--most of us know what it's like to be misheard, mischaracterized, or misrepresented by family, friends, or strangers. Few of us feel deeply known and understood all the time. Worse, many of us have endured long, painful seasons of misunderstanding in which the people around us have questioned--or worse, judged--our motives and actions. We have asked ourselves, How do I correct these misperceptions? Do I try to defend myself--or does that only make me look guilty? How can I recover my joy even if someone believes something about me that isn't true?

This problem--and your feelings and questions about it--is nothing new. In fact, women have faced it since the dawn of time. In this engaging book, Mary DeMuth tells the tales of ten women in the Bible who were misunderstood in their own time and often still are--bringing to each of them a deep humanity that makes her, and her problems, more relatable to twenty-first-century you. If you are struggling with feeling misunderstood, let these stories inspire you to grow and remind you that you are not alone. And remember: There is always One who understands you perfectly and stands ready to comfort, strengthen, and defend you through every situation you face.

Beyond a 5 Star Read

This is such a great representation and explanation of the Most Misunderstood Women of The Bible! I'm not new to the Bible but Im also not really well versed in it. That being said this was such an amazing and great learning tool! My favorite chapter was Chapter 4 about Rahab. Some of my favorite quotes that spoke deeply to me from the book are: 1. "You are not the sum of your sins". 2. " Even complicated, pain laced stories have beauty, including yours". 3. "Being misunderstood cannot prevent you from shining your light for Jesus".
