Book Description
Many women of the Bible have not been mentioned by name. Noah's wife was alluded to only as his spouse, but her role had to have been an important one. Noah must have desperately needed her by his side as together they forged into the unknown. Other women in the Bible were not mentioned at all although they must have been there. For example, the innkeeper's wife surely played a large role on that night in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. Marie Holt uses her vivid imagination to reach into the minds of some of these unnamed and unmentioned women. Their stories of fear, injustice, tragedy, courage, grace, and God's intervening love grip our imaginations and teach us timely principles. Also includes the stories of: - The Persistent Widow--Dealing With Injustice - Jephthah's Daughter--Facing Tomorrow - The Israelite Midwife--Making a Difference - Pilate's Wife--Sharing Your Convictions - The Samaritan Woman--Accepting the Gift of Grace - The Bahurim Woman--Telling the Truth - The Widow Of Zarephath--Holding on to Your Trust - David's Mother--Letting a Loved One Go As we look into the persona of these women, we see how each of them had an experience that women of today can use to heal, grow, and move forward.
