Critic reviews

"What shines through in this well-written book is the authors' great respect for these gritty, intelligent, and occasionally flawed women. The authors briefly tell each woman's life story in an enchanting storytelling voice, helping readers to see how these ancient stories still have meaning centuries later. The book is well-organized, offering a woman's story for every week of the year, as well as a week's worth of structured lessons and reflections." (Amazon.com review)

Loved, loved this book

This was an amazing account of the women of the Bible. There were soo many women whom I had never known about. Powerful and influential women that never get the recognition they deserve by pastors. A must read for every woman. Women empowerment through the word!

What wonderful information about the women in the

I looked forward to listening to this every evening. I did not have the study guide but I still learned so much about the women who shaped my future.
The only thing I didn't enjoy was when the narrator changed her voice for the characters. It wasn't natural sounding and would have been better if she just kept her same natural voice.

Amazing

I would reccomend this to anyone. 😇 thirteen hours of fun and nonfiction stories. PLEASE READ

Outstanding Series!

I used this to start a women's group and bible study and it was fantastic because we just listened there were no questions and chapters to read ahead of time like in the usual bible study and the women really enjoyed this and learned a lot

Incredible Skills that can be used even Today

The stories were so interesting! I could relate to them so easily. I learned many skills from their stories!
