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 Overview of 12 Godly Women

This audiobook gives insight into the lives of 12 women portrayed in scripture (5 Old Testament and 7 New Testament). The author is thorough in his research and gives much background information along with their virtues and attributes.
I learned a lot and found it easy to listen to the narrator (who narrates many of the author’s books). I highly recommend it!

What a blessing!

I loved the whole format of this book. Reading how God used each woman for His purpose and is still using women today in His time and for His will and glory. Mostly seeing how they’re just like us, flawed. He wants to use us too. I learned so much. I now have a deeper understanding of how to submit and let Him use me. Thank You Pastor Macarthur.
