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.

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.
