Women of the Hebrew Bible<\/strong><\/p>\n

This book offers 10 studies on fascinating women. \u201cAll are noteworthy; some are notorious. Some are so obscure as to be almost forgotten. Others are so well-known that we take them for granted,\u201d said a description. \u201cThey invite us to study them prayerfully and carefully, and to take their witness seriously.\u201d The book includes chapters on Lady Wisdom; Eve; Tamar; the daughters of Zelophehad; Deborah, Jael, and Judith; Abigail; the Queen of Sheba; the widow of Zarephath; the girl who served Naaman; and Huldah. The Covenant Bible Studies series is published by Brethren Press for people committed to living authentic Christian lives. Each 10-session study encourages small groups to reflect, pray, and learn together. Purchase one copy for each member of a study group.<\/p>\n
