Twelve Extraordinary Women Workbook: How God Shaped Women of the Bible and What He Wants to Do With You

by John F. MacArthur Jr.

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!

Eve: Mother of All Living
Sarah: Hoping Against Hope
Rahab: A Horrible Life Redeemed
