You know the women of the Bible, but you don't know them like this... It's easy for Christian women--young and old--to get lost between the opportunities and demands of the present and the biblical teachings of the past. They live in a confusing world, caught in the crossfire between church and culture. Although home and family still remain central, more women than ever, by choice or by necessity, are blending home, career, and ministry. 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… (more)

This book is such a disappointment. After reading one of the most well researched chapters, I decided to read the entire book. Hoping for a well researched book that would dispel popular misconceptions of a number of women in the Bible, I found only a contemporary book that contained a great deal of speculation and fiction mixed in with some research. Granted, the women came out somewhat stronger than in older books, but certainly not even close to Biblically accurate. ( )
