Women in the Old Testament

If there are approximately 1,400+ individuals named in the Bible of which there are approximately 110 women, this book addresses 39 of them. The Author does a superb job establishing the environment, the customs, the challenges of these women and also does a wonderful job enhancing your understanding of them as disciples of God. You come away from this book with a much deeper appreciation for these women and a much deeper appreciation for the importance of women in Salvation History and in God's kingdom, despite the fact that mostly men wrote the Bible!
