Women Of The Word

“Women of the Word will help all who read it to find their way deeper into the Word of God without having to be seminary educated, a genius, or even an especially good student.” —Kathy Keller We all know it’s important to study God’s Word.

How can we, as Christian women, keep our focus and sustain our passion when reading the Bible? With over 250,000 copies sold, Women of the Word has helped countless women with a clear and concise plan they can use every time they open their Bible. Featuring the same content as the first edition, and now with added study questions at the end of each chapter, this book equips you to engage God’s Word in a way that trains your mind and transforms your heart.

Anxiety has become the accepted price of living in a fast-paced world, but the popularity of anti-anxiety medications, meditation techniques and other stress relievers indicates that it’s spinning out of control. In Free From Worry, readers will discover that stress and anxiety are not new phenomena—the Apostle Paul had a lot to say about how to deal with them. This interactive study, ideal for individuals or small groups, takes a close look at the worry epidemic and turns to God’s Word to find its remedy. Free From Worry includes eight weeks of study. Topics include “Call It Sin,” “Your New Mind,” “Thanks in All Things,” “Staying Free” and much more. Each week’s study examines a root of anxiety, digs into Scripture to find out what God’s Word has to say about it, offers readers the opportunity to reflect on their own struggle with worry and suggests practical action steps to help readers apply what they have learned.

This response to biblical feminism thoroughly examines the roles of women in marriage, the church, and society as taught by Scripture.

What do women in the Bible have in common with you and me? We all have a story to tell.God loves us despite who we are and what we have gone through. Our circumstances don't make us who we are; it's our faith and belief in Him that determines how our story will unfold.In the following pages, we will focus in on a few ordinary--and not so ordinary--women that made an impact during biblical times and made their mark in history. Their powerful stories are extraordinary examples of triumph, victory, and accomplishment that demonstrate God's power and miracles performed in the most extreme situations. Rahab was a prostitute who ran an inn on the city wall. God used her to save a nation, and she later became an ancestor of Jesus Christ.Jael was a housewife who was at the right place at the right time. She single-handedly killed an army general and ended a war against God's people.Eunice married a man of another race, then became a single mother. She raised her son to have strong faith and devotion to God. Her son now has two books of the Bible named after him.This book explores the lives of remarkable women from the bible and their unforgettable stories. Throughout the pages, we read of God's grace and mercy working in each one of their lives. Through the scriptures, we can see that many of them are just like us. Just as God saved, healed, and blessed the women of the Bible, He wants to do the same in the lives of each one of us.As you read these stories, be encouraged that there is nothing too hard for God. There is nothing too small or too big that He cannot handle. He can fix your unique situation and bring you out on top, just as He did for many women in this book.

"Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph" (Exodus 1:8). With that introduction, we enter into the story of the Hebrew people in the Book of Exodus.

But God was raising up a deliverer in Moses, to lead His people from bondage to freedom so they could worship Him. In this 10-session verse-by-verse study of Exodus 1-18, journey alongside God's people from Egypt to Mt. Sinai to unpack the deeper meaning behind stories that may already be familiar to you: the struggle of God's people in slavery to the Egyptians, the birth and life of Moses, the plagues God leveled against Pharaoh, and God's great provision in the parting of the Red Sea.
