Sarah & Hagar, Women of Promise (Alive in the Word) by Irene Nowell Osb

It is not possible to tell the story of Abraham’s descendants without taking note of how God’s plan unfolded in the lives of Sarah and Hagar. The best laid plans and the unexpected converge as these two women respond to God’s promises.

Women in the Old Testament by Irene Nowell Osb

In Women in the Old Testament Sister Irene explores not only the lives of such well-known women as Sarah, Deborah, Ruth, Eve, and Naomi, but also those of lesser-known women such as Michal, Tamar, and Jezebel. Each of these women has unique characteristics; each of their stories is food for our imaginations. In addition, Sister Nowell looks at those Bible stories that tell us what it means to be a woman created in the image of God and that portray God in the image of a woman.
