Seeing the Best in Scripture's Women of Worth Andy McIlree

In this final book of his 'Women God Moved' series, Andy looks at some of the doors that God may open for His women: Deborah: Leading (Judg.4:8,9; 5:15); Ruth: Subjecting (Ruth 3:1-7); Abigail: Advising (1 Sam.25:23-31); Shallum's daughters: Building (Neh.3:12); Phoebe: Protecting (Rom.16:1,2); Tryphena & Tryphosa: Labouring (Rom.16:12); Euodia & Syntyche: Witnessing (Phil.4:2,3) These seven examples, plus women like Sarah, Mary and Priscilla, combine to show what God thinks of His women. They are Women of His worth, Women of His Word, and Women of His Work, and consecrated women are all three! Along with these, by His help, they can learn to appreciate and appropriate their femininity, their womanhood, and, as Psalm 128:3 so beautifully points out, their motherhood too: "Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the very heart of your house, your children like olive plants all around your table." Each chapter concludes with questions that make this book ideal for a rewarding individual or group Bible study.
