Praying with Women of the Bible for 30 Days: A Bible Study Guide
The Lord intentionally offers us stories of women in Scripture in the middle of circumstances and seasons that are not bound by culture or history. The experiences of women in the Bible can be learned from in real time today. Some prayers of women are recorded in Scripture and other prayers are gleaned from circumstantial and situational shared human experiences.
There is hardly a greater bond to be made among women than to recognize our sameness across time and space and go to the Lord in prayer together. We learn not just from one another, but with one another. Praying with the Women of the Bible is our opportunity to pray the prayers our sisters prayed before us, pray alongside them in life shared circumstances, and pray for one another as we sojourn together.
In this study you will learn about women in Scripture, their names, their cultural and historical setting, their situation and how they prayed. With each lesson and each woman you will learn how we are so powerfully connected by longings and desires of the heart and be strengthened in boldness to bring your requests to the Lord. Praying with the women of the Bible is not just repeating prayers, it is an exercise in learning the heart posture of prayer and in turn, receiving the power that comes from praying with women of history and today.

This book is okay. I wouldn’t say there is anything downright heretical in it, what the author is trying to convey are Biblical concepts of prayer, however, the author has made a habit of being very, very loose with her hermeneutics. And she admits to that in the introduction, which made me very uncomfortable about proceeding with this study.
The section on Rebekah is a great example of this. She says, “the strife between these brothers would become a familial conflict of epic proportions, one that would have driven her to prayer. As Rebekah’s boys grew up and life became complex and competitive, we can be confident that her prayer life grew right along with her family.” The problem with this is we can’t be certain of that. The Bible does not say anything about that. Maybe Rebekah was a prayer warrior for her family, but her actions, which the author admits are “marked by favoritism, deception and division” do not show that she was a woman with a deep prayer life who trusted God with her family and conflict. In fact, Rebekah caused a lot of the conflict that her family was experiencing. The author goes on to state, “as a mother who cherished her children, Rebekah would have prayed with hope, tears, and faith. She would have gone deep in prayer for conflict that continually erupted between her twin sons. She would have lifted up the prayer of every mother navigating sibling conflict and tension. God of heaven, bring your peace to our family, reconciliation between the children, and hope into a situation that feel helpless. Rebekah’s prayers were lifted up not just for days, weeks, months, or even years. They were declared over and over for decades.”
The problem is we absolutely do not know that. The only thing the Bible records in regard to Rebekah’s prayer life is that she asked the Lord when her twins were wrestling in her womb, “why is this happening to me?” Everything else is conjecture and not based on Biblical text, yet portrayed as fact and used as a basis for women to model themselves after this fictional narrative that the author fabricated about Rebekah. This is very dangerous. Should women pray for their families? Yes, of course but there are plenty of other places in scripture that can be used to teach that. It is extremely reckless and unwise to make things up in order to fit the point that the author is trying to convey (which is a Biblical point, just not from this Bible story).
This happens repeatedly in this book. I would be very careful about using this book for study/devotions.
