Face to Face with Powerful Women of the Old Testament

Here’s a new kind of Bible study: a lively, deep, personal look at some of the Old Testament’s most powerful—and intriguing—women. From Sarah, who was unafraid to nudge God into action; to Hagar, whose courage and passion founded a whole nation; to Judith, woman and warrior whose faith saved God’s people, readers will examine the stories of biblical women up close. As they to read between the lines, readers will learn to use Bible stories to throw light on the stories of their own lives. Each chapter will include questions for discussion and reflection, making this an ideal parish study book, or the perfect volume for Lenten meditation.
