Publisher's summary

They were ordinary, common, and in some cases shockingly low-caste, yet each was made extraordinary by her life-changing encounter with God.

Twelve Extraordinary Women offers a poignant and personal look into the lives of some of the Bible's most faithful women. Their struggles and temptations are the same trials faced by all believers at all ages.

Inside this book, best-selling author and Bible teacher John MacArthur shows that the God to whom they were so committed is the same God who continues to mold and use ordinary people today.

Twelve Extraordinary Women features the stories of:

  • Eve
  • Sarah
  • Rahab
  • Ruth
  • Hannah
  • Mary
  • Anna
  • The Samaritan Woman
  • Martha and Mary
  • Mary Magdalene
  • Lydia

A study guide and accompanying table are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Honorable Read

Women as women with God’s grace. Not ashamed to be women. And definitely not men trying to be women.

Wonderful!

This book helped me to put together a synopsis of Lydia’s conversion for a women’s gathering at my church. It was extremely helpful.

A Must Read for Every Woman of Faith

Evidence of God's use of imperfect vessels to accomplish His perfect will! A treasure trove of ordinary women who, in Christ, did the extraordinary.

God be Glorified

The twelve women discussed in this book had one perfect thing in common. They glorified God and Dr. MacArthur gives biblical evidence of the reason they are pointed out as extraordinary.
I enjoyed the book very much and listened to it on my daily walk. Next, I will sit and take notes to aid my study. My thanks to Pastor MacArthur and his editing staff! Well done!

Details are important

These stories of the women of the Bible may be familiar to us, but what is great is the details of their lives. Refreshing and inspiring.

never felt so special

In a world where it is all about what women have to do to stand out, I am thankful for a book that emphasizes it is who God made me that makes me special. I don't have to prove myself to anyone. I was made that way.

John MacArthur

Love this book! This is the second John MacArthur book I have listened to just in the past two weeks. I am going to instantly re-listen to “Twelve ordinary men” and this book!
