With a copyright of 1955 and a topic of ALL THE WOMEN OF THE BIBLE this book was part of a book weed, headed to the paper gator of the local high school, as it was in their library. I took it home to read it and then donate accordingly. I had many reasons for rescuing this book: one the subject fascinates me, two I am studying feminism this year and thought it’d be a good and unusual resource and three I had no real devotion plan to pick up as I had finished my other devotional. Thus I put this on my 20 books of summer and will be reading it in my devotions time, for the rest of the summer I imagine. I am hoping to glean some new knowledge by reading this. If nothing else I will be reading and researching in my personal Bible as I read along, which is always good for me.
All the women of the Bible offers a rich biographical perspective on every 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.
I am pleased with my 20 Books of Summer adventure so far!
Peace
