Reviews

[Bette]

This author ALWAYS puts her sense of humor in her books though it's serious subjects! Prime Rib (Adam)...Apple (Eve)... a collection of stories about some of the women in Scripture presented in ways I'd never read before this book. Have used it in teaching many times for years.

[Elaine]

Women of the Bible with a brief perspective of several; Eve (Prime Rib). Job's wife (Little Dripping Tap), Ruth (The In-law); Esther (Star, a light in the darkness), etc. Insights to just a few women who we read about in the Bible, some of whom were strong and some with weaknesses which defines them.

I am reading this book for the second time. I read it last year when a friend gave it to me. This year I am re-reading it before I give it back. Few books open your eyes to truth, this book was that book for me.
