The lineage of Jesus is full of surprising, imperfect people, but perhaps none more than the five women memorialized in Matthew 1. These women are not the expected matriarchs like Eve or Sarah or Rebecca, but the ones with hard, complicated stories. And every one of these women is just like us: resoundingly ordinary, tainted by sin, and yet unexpectedly used to change the world when they found their place in God's story.
In this Get Wisdom Bible study, you are invited into the raw, empowering, astonishing stories of these five women:
Tamar: A Woman Who Pursues What Is Right Rahab: A Woman Who Chooses Growth Ruth: A Woman Who Loves Radically Bathsheba: A Woman Who Claims Her Voice Mary: A Women Who Says Yes
With Teresa Swanstrom Anderson's trademark warmth and accessibility, this study equips women to study Scripture for themselves and discover how to participate more fully in the story of God.
I thoroughly enjoyed this study on several women of the Bible. It is refreshing to see sources quoted to provide additional historical perspective on the world of these women. The study questions really challenge the reader to bring the lessons of these women into their own life. Thought provoking and informative.
My thanks to the author, Teresa Swanstrom Anderson, and the publisher, Tyndale House Publishers, for me ecopy of this book. #Goodreads Giveaway
This one seemed like it was rushed to publication and wasn’t as carefully curated as Saying Yes in the Darkness. And there was more commentary and less “digging in”
