They need strong biblical role models to help them meet these challenges.Building on solid scholarship and a determination to wrestle honestly with perplexing questions, author Carolyn Custis James sheds new light on ancient stories that brings the women of the Bible into the twenty-first century. This fresh look at the women in the Bible unearths surprising new insights and a powerful message that will leave readers feeling challenged, encouraged, and deeply valued.Rediscover and be inspired by:• Eve• Sarah• Hagar• Tamar• Hannah• Esther• Mary• and others

Double chapters

Great book but the audio has double chapters and the chapter numbers are not correct. So chapter 7 is actually chapter 6 and repeats itself twice. It’s hard to follow along and know where you are.

Unashamed Truth

The author presents various examples of women who God used to promote His plan.

This is a production note about this recording: chapters 6, 8-11 have the recording of the chapter twice. It makes the book appear long than it is and causes confusion for the listener. Please consider editing and republishing.

This book blows me away!

Oh that I would have discovered this book 15 years ago! Our destiny as women is in being Gods image bearer, which may or may not include marriage and motherhood. Which may or may not mean having a “perfect marriage or family”. I knew that but couldn’t have validated it over and over from the women in Scripture until I listened to this book! Read it!!

Title Misleading

This book was well written and the narrator was engaging. However, I was expecting to gain more insightful information pertaining to background of the characters vs the intellectual - hypothetical assumptions.

Disappointed

I was hoping this book would be more about the women's [in the Bible] stories. If you don't know their background or who they were you won't follow the author. The book focus on the value of women and has a repetitive message that "Women count" . I wish I hadn't bought it.
