Description
Powerful insights to enrich and guide you in becoming a "Woman For All Seasons".
The Bible is a book that never becomes obsolete. There is no topic that concerns society today that the Word of God does not address. It is the author's belief that when problems confront us, we need look no further than the pages of the only book that has withstood the test of time. Burned, banned, confiscated, destroyed, the Bible is still on the bestseller list. Therefore, it was very easy to use the stories from the women of the Bible to illustrate God's ability to sustain us throughout every season of our lives, and that if we trust Him, in spite of our circumstances, we, too, can become "women for all seasons."

This book addresses some of the issues that women face in this century. Many books have been written on women of the Bible, but I can assure you that Women For All Seasons is not just another "Women of the Bible" book. The stories are all written from the point of view of each character, allowing you to see them as real people with real issues and varying levels of weaknesses and strengths. For example, how did Hagar feel when she was ordered to sleep with Abraham so she could bear a child for the childless couple? How did Mary Magdalene deal with rejection? How did Mary and Martha feel while waiting on Jesus to come and heal their brother Lazarus, and He did not come?
At the end of each chapter is a section called Insights that gives some practical applications to the story. Following that is a list of questions for reflection and self-analysis. The scripture references at the end provide food for meditation and further study. As you read this book, your enthusiasm for the Word of God will be encouraged and you will develop that hunger and passion for a closer relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ.
