Fantastic

If you’re looking to dive into the women of the Bible, this is a wonderful book. They talk about their weaknesses, their strengths, what they all had in common, what we as Christian women should strive for.

Twelve Extaordinary Women Workbook

This is a wonderful tool to help our ladies Bible study group walk through the book "Twelve Extraordinary Women". It is teaching some how to glean all there is to learn from our ancestors.

A Must Read!!!

If I didn't like John MacArthur before I read this book, I would now! Dr. MacArthur took the familiar Bible stories of each of these 12 women and brought out details and made points that I had never realized, even after having read the stories many times before; I repeatedly found myself saying, "I never noticed that before!" The book was an easy but interesting read, and I looked forward to each upcoming chapter. I learned things about the Bible that I had no idea I didn't know! My favorite chapter was the one about Hannah, because Dr. MacArthur confirmed my beliefs that God rewards women who place a priority on their husbands and their children. He phrased Hannah's devotion in eloquent chapter headings: "Love for Her Husband," "Love for Heaven," and "Love for Her Home." In a world where so much emphasis is placed on women's careers and personal ambitions, I applaud Dr. MacArthur's stance throughout the book, but especially in the Hannah chapter, on God's respect for women who humbly put their loved ones above themselves. I have bought copies of Twelve Extraordinary Women as gifts for several ladies I love (and will continue to do so!), and I am planning to teach it in a small group next spring. I would recommend this book for any woman who truly seeks to understand God's agenda for her life.
