Summary

Many biblical truths are exhibited most clearly through the exemplary deeds and attitudes of women. This powerful new book, an inspiration to men and women alike, examines the stories of the most memorable female characters in the Bible, and draws important moral values from their lives in God's service. By understanding their dreams, passions, and unique position in God's divine plan, we can better appreciate the sacrifices they made for the love of friends, family, and most important, their heavenly Father. From Mary, the mother of Jesus, to the adulterous woman who was saved by Christ, Baker finds the life lessons and guidance implicit in each remarkable story. Written with perception and sympathy, this book beautifully conveys the wonder and gratitude of more than 20 women who were caught in the higher love of God.
