Publisher's summary

We live in a world of misunderstanding. People make up stories about us based on what they see, but they don’t truly know our inward journeys. Snap judgments punctuate our world. What if we could look at the lives of grossly misunderstood women of the Bible and mine truth from their stories? How would that change us?

Looking at Eve, Leah, Bathsheba, the Proverbs 31 Woman, and others, listeners will learn what these women can teach us about ourselves. Author Mary DeMuth combines her storytelling and scholarly skills to create a truly unique book that will help women understand misunderstanding, moving through and beyond it toward soul health.

If you only read one book in 2022 this is it!

This incredible book blessed my drive as I heard the audible version during a solo road trip. Immediately I was transported to a different time and got a glimpse of different cultures, different characters that all shared one common denominator and that was to give God the glory! The sad truth is that many of us are misunderstood and we misunderstand many- yet the God who sees uses it all for our good, His glory. Thank you Mary for for taking us on such an important journey and changing the way I process His story through His people forever.

Raw, beautiful, comforting

This is an insight look at these women. It brings a perspective of the human struggle when we are misunderstood, unloved, suffer loss, etc. and how God who sees, hears, loves, chooses, and comforts such people. As I listen to each story I am reminded of the beauty of our God’s ways and how he meets each woman where they are at.

Great insights.

I wasn't sure what to expect. With Mary Demuth's expanded narrative of the women I was able to better picture their possible story.
Mary Demuth has a way of bringing one demintional characters to life. Thank you Mary Demuth for bring us this book!

This is a wonderful experience.

This book certainly gave me a deeper perspective on the ladies of the Bible. It also gave me a deeper understanding of God and his forgiveness for even the most heinous of sins, and how he gives us so many opportunities to step away from sin.
The lives of Bathsheba, and Mary Magdalene were so intense. It was very hard to listen to these chapters. I am glad I did. Then the chapter on Phoebe was so inspirational. She was some special lady. I highly recommend this book for both women and men.

Love it and have listened to it several times!

I love how each woman's history is broken down, giving the listener new insight and perspective!

A relief for women seeking closeness with God

Being a biblical woman can feel lonesome at times. “Misunderstood” provided me a closer connection to women in the Bible when I needed it most, and restored my passion for pursuit of God. Thank you Mary!

Great book!

I love the storytelling about various women in the Bible. The narration was good too. Each story 's lesson was practically applied as a comparison to the challenges women face today and how we can overcome them with God's word.

Gods word

The book is a perfect reflection of the woman of the Bible. The most interesting part for me was about Tamer and Phoebe. Thank you so much for writing this book. Thanks so much Blessing I hope my mother will understand me better.

This is one book I want my daughter to listen to the leader in the church!

Just as Jesus was misunderstood so he understands and has compassion for us when we experience the same dynamics here on earth. I have read a lot of books about Jesus and women but I love this approach to the women in the Bible like Tamar, Phoebe, and Mary Magdalene. As someone who attended seminary at the masters and doctorate level and has taught at a Bible college, I received new insights into many women of the Bible as I listened to this book that I was not familiar with before.

amazing

This is the 2nd time through this book. Mary DeMuth has a deep ability to give these women a true story to otherwise breezed over barely thought of women in the most popular book ever written. Giving them a plausible background helps to understand their journey, and give truer meaning to the Gospel. I wholeheartedly love this book, and have added it to my read again and again list.
