Ten Women of the Bible Updated Edition: How God Used Imperfect People to Change the World

Why Did God Choose These Women? In this updated, ten-session workbook, Max Lucado recounts the stories of ten women of the Bible, uncovering important truths that God wants us to grasp today. We don’t know all their names. Some are referred to in Scripture only by their nationality. Some became queens; others lived on the fringes of society. One gave birth to a nation; another to the Messiah. Their culture often overlooked or discounted the contributions of women, yet the writers of Scripture found these women and the role they played essential to the telling of God’s story. These women show us there is a God who sees us where we are and loves us for who we are: Sarah: Life in the Kingdom of the Absurd Rahab: When a Checkered Past Meets God’s Grace Abigail: Beauty in the Midst of Beasts Esther: Touching the King’s Heart Mary, the Mother of Jesus: More Than a Christmas Story The Samaritan Woman: From Outcast to Evangelist The Canaanite Woman: When Great Faith Meets Great Action Mary of Bethany: Risky Acts of Love Mary Magdalene: Encountering the God of Surprises Sapphira: Do Good…Quietly Each lesson includes in-depth Bible studies and summary points to help you navigate and remember the stories of Scripture, as well as prayers and memory verses to help you hide God’s Word in your heart.
