A unique biblical meditation study regarding women and the Bible!

This book is designed to be read throughout a year. It includes an Introduction, an Epilogue, and fifty meditations divided into ten sections with five in each section. Scripture texts listed should be read with each meditation. This book is perfect either for individual use or for group use, if you can get enough of this book to use. The author quotes "There is a rich journey ahead; the women of the scriptures provide strong and witty and wonderful companionship. I hope that you will find living with each of them for a week, an experience to savor and cherish, as I have. And I pray that this year might be one of blessing as you walk, hand in hand with sisters in the faith, toward the light of wisdom and glory." I found this book refreshing and very enlightening - I totally enjoyed it!
