Summary

Christian women are no more exempt from the troubles of this world than anyone else. They are not immune to feeling desperate, disappointed, lonely, guilty and grieved. But in the midst of their unfulfilled dreams and broken hearts, they can take comfort and find encouragement. The Bible abounds with illustrations of God's tender intervention in the lives of women, including many whose aching hearts He touched and healed.

In volume two of the Women of the Word series, readers will meet these real women of the Bible and feel their pain, but will also witness their ultimate victory and restoration as God graciously extended His love and compassion to them. The hope and encouragement of these stories will inspire women today, and their faith will grow as they reach out to experience new depths of healing for their own hearts and lives.
