All of the Women of the Bible
All of the Women of the Bible | Edith Deen
6 posts | 2 read
All the women of the Bible offers a rich biographical perspective on evey female figure in scripture -- including the famous, the little-known, and even the unnamed. In more that 300 engaging and insightful portraits, Edith Deen brings alive the saints and sorceresses, queens and servants, mothers and daughters, wives and widows whose profound influence is felt through-out the Bible. "You can almost trace light and darkness in the Bible by the women themselves,"she writes. "Hannah, praying mother of Samuel, gave birth to a son who became the first great Hebrew prophet. And, of course, there was the mother of Jesus. On the other hand, Jezebel and Herodias were vile influences, the first tearing apart the northern kingdom of Israel, the second causing John the Baptist to be beheaded." Combining thorough detail with a lively and dramatic narrative, All of the Women of the Bible portrays the real women behind the Biblical stories and shows how, in their human struggles and triumphs, they are very much like the women of today. With each major biography identified by Bible chapter and verse and prefaced by a key passage of scripture, this is an ideal resources for teachers, Bible students, preachers, and writers, as well as anyone who wants to learn what it was really like to be a woman in Biblical times.

Here‘s my review for a book I just finished reading. This is the second book I‘ve read for #awesomeapril. This will also count for #bookspinbingo. This book was picked last month when the numbers were drawn so now, I can cross this one off my #bookspin list and be done with it. It was interesting but I‘m not going to reread it. Reading it once was enough for me.

I‘ve made more progress in this book for the #awesomeapril readathon. This will be my second book. I looked in the Kindle book and it says that I have 2 hours and 44 minutes left in the book. This book is very interesting. It doesn‘t feel dry or boring and it‘s not written like a textbook. I feel like this would be a good book for a Women‘s Bible Study group to read but I also think it‘s great to read just for fun which is how I‘m reading it.

I decided to buy the ebook of this book. I‘ve owned the physical book for a while but I want my Amazon Alexa app to read it to me. It sounds interesting. It‘s on my #bookspinbingo list this month. I‘m not going to read it this month. Hopefully, I‘ll read it next month. It‘s been on multiple #bookspin lists for months. I‘m ready to read it so I don‘t have to keep carrying it over each month. I‘m hoping to read more of my #bookspin books next month.
