Customer Reviews

In-depth research and lots to think about.

Love her research and insight. So much to think about. Women were part of the ministry of Jesus every step of the way, even at the foot of the cross. A great read for Lent, in order to prepare for Easter. Our book club at church read this and the study questions in the back are good for group discussion too.

Awesome

I read this with the intent of a small group study. it got my attention from page one and I couldn't put it down. was going to pass it on to the other ladies in my group but I am going to re-read it first--I think I will buy them their own copy. there was so much to think about while reading all the accounts--I felt like I was there!! Liz I think this is your best written book. keep up the good work.
