This is a basic presentation of some of the Women of the Old Testament; their roles and positions in society during the time they lived; and, how they influenced the events of their time. I bought it for the art mostly - Elspeth Young renders her subjects with cultural accuracy as well as sensitivity to each women as a unique individual.
Educational. And don't get me wrong, some of Olsen's byuspeeches are my favorites. But I feel like the book played favorites and left out a lot of people I wanted to know about(Ruth, Esther, Rahab). Also I felt like there were a lot of blondes... And, don't get me wrong, I love blondes. But I'm pretty sure that everyone in the Old Testament wasn't blonde and, if they were, their hair/appearance was a bit more gritty than that. :)
Beautiful book. I love the diversity of the illustrations. I appreciate the author's knowledge of these ancient cultures which brings such richness and understanding of the scriptures and the lives of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus.
This book looked beyond the surface meanings of this bible story and included a timeline and history of Martha's life and her progression in her understanding of Christ as her Savior. I think this is the essence of what we need to learn from this story.
