+ Want to read

Women of the Old Testament turns to the stories of several women from the Hebrew scriptures and considers their lives in a fresh way. The book pays attention to the difficulties these women faced, which often feel familiar to readers today. Each chapter places its subject within the customs and daily life of her time, and full-color illustrations bring those settings to life. A set of reflective questions closes each chapter, inviting readers to think about what these women's experiences can teach them now.
