#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

The women of the Bible lived timeless stories—by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.

People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.

In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel's Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.

From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.

The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.

Inspiration and timely

Shannon's presentation shed much new light on these women in the Bible who could be women of today. Thank you!

I learned so much!

I have been exposed to these stories all my long life, and yet I learned from each one. The background about each woman was insightful. The author has a gift for making each woman’s situation one with which I can identify. Her presentation of the material in this format is excellent. I highly recommend this Audible book to anyone.

Inspiring and inspiring from start to finish!!

I loved this book for so many reasons. Shannon Bream does an incredible job of describing the women of the Bible in real world context that can be applied to our lives today. I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to listen to her other books.

Found inspiration in every word

Inspiration, reflection, putting the stories in historical perspective. We tend to view the women in the Bible in a more 2 dimensional way. This really made them come to life for me.

Importance of women in the Bible.

I learned things about these women that I did not know and it was very educational.
