Description
A childless woman long past childbearing age. A young widow from a foreign land. An elderly widow living at the temple. Two sisters with very different personalities. Most of the women we know from the Bible were unremarkable in and of themselves. They were ordinary, common, and-in some cases-from shockingly low places in society. In each case, what made them extraordinary was a memorable and life-changing encounter with the God of the universe.
The Twelve Extraordinary Women Workbook brings you face-to-face with the women of the Bible as you've never seen them before. You'll discover their struggles and doubts. You'll learn about their fears and failures. You'll explore how God used their faith and commitment for His plans. And you'll come to see that if God can work in these ordinary women's lives in such extraordinary ways-He can certainly do the same in your life!
Lessons include:
- Eve: Mother of All Living
- Sarah: Hoping Against Hope
- Rahab: A Horrible Life Redeemed
- Ruth: Loyalty and Love
- Hannah: A Portrait of Feminine Grace
- Mary: Blessed Among Women
- Anna: The Faithful Witness
- The Samaritan Woman: Finding the Water of Life
- Martha and Mary: Working and Worshiping
- Mary Magdalene: Delivered from Darkness
- Lydia: A Hospitable Heart Opened
Based on John MacArthur's bestselling book of the same name, this revised and updated edition of the workbook includes biblical studies of each woman, thought-provoking questions, and life application assignments.
