Women of the Bible

by Margaret McAllister

Book Overview

This elegantly illustrated collection of ten favorite Bible stories has an interesting twist. McAllister imaginatively retells these tales from the point of view of the women involved: Noah's wife, Miriam, Ruth, Mary mother of Jesus, Pilate's wife, Mary Magdalene are among some of the women who put their side of the story forward. A stylish compilation of Bible stories with a difference, this is a perfect gift for girls.
