About the author

Lisa Harper is a hilarious storyteller and theological scholar―a gifted communicator whose writing and speaking overflows with colorful, pop-culture references that connect the dots between the Bible era and modern life. “Her God-given ability to not merely teach the Word but package it in a way that stirs the heart and calls to action is incomparable” says Priscilla Shirer. For six years Lisa served as the director of Focus on the Family's national women's ministry where she created the popular Renewing the Heart conferences. The next six years found her serving on the local level as the women's ministry director at a large church in Nashville. As the author of eleven books, and a Masters of Theological Studies with honors from Covenant Seminary, she is now a sought-after Bible teacher and speaker. Lisa was on the Women of Faith national arena tour and speaks at many other large events as well as at hundreds of churches all over the world. Lisa describes her greatest accomplishment to date as getting to be Missy’s mama.

We used this study guide and video to guide us through five months of studying about well-known (Deborah, Ruth, Esther, Mary and Martha), less-known (Proverbs 31 Woman, Priscilla, Woman with the Issue of Blood, Elizabeth) and practially unknow (Shulamite Wonan, Puah and Shiphrah, Bent Woman, Anna) women of the Bible. In each case we then discussed what we could learn from these women and their experiences. Sometimes it felt like the audience for this book might have been younger women. (Most of us are retired and/or grandmothers...) Still there were some interesting ideas shared that resulted in good discussion.

I actually listened to the audiobook, not the study guide, but there's no entry for it on Goodreads. I probably would've enjoyed this book more as an ebook because the content is interesting but most of the women's voices are annoying!

Good sessions, mostly good videos....and my amazing group of Christian sisters. I honestly don't know what could be any better.
