Publisher's Synopsis
This book begins with the Bible study: Bible Study of Women for Women Through Scriptures. The second study: Bible Study of Women for Women Through Scriptures Volume II continues with the study of women of the Bible as they appear in the Bible. The scriptures in the volume of these two bible studies are presented from different Bible versions.
What I did here was merge both studies for those who want to read both studies as one.
We started with Eve as our first study and went on to many women like the ones you may have known of and ones you may have never known. Women in the first study, such as Noah's wife, Jacob's women, Abraham's women, Lot's women, Mothers of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, women in the genealogy of Jesus, and women who were named or unnamed and were women of the Bible. We went through women which I thought should have been given a voice. The first study is from Genesis to The Book of Ruth which studied Naomi and Ruth. In volume II we begin with Hannah and continue through the Bible until Mary. All of the studies are interesting. Hannah is a woman in despair and she prays and God listens to her prayer and HIS response to her makes her an interesting figure, to say the least. The study of Queen Vashti and Esther are within the second volume. We find some history of the region as we research Queen Vashti. Esther, the young girl who became Queen is also an interesting study. And we continue to find value in the women we study. Mary, which takes up most of volume II, was a new study for me. I found in research things I did not know about Mary. I encourage all who read these studies to read with an open mind. In volume II we also connect to the women in Jesus' genealogy when we study David's women. We also study Solomon's women, only a few, for he had many, many women. As women we are mothers, sisters, wives and we are all indeed a significant force. Revelation 19:2 NIV, "for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants." Imagine, there is more to learn about the significance of women of the Bible. "Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you." Proverbs 4:6 NIV I have found my purpose, although I was not really looking for it. But I have found purpose and I pray with these studies I may lead you to find God's LOVE, Mercy and Grace, forgiveness and God's gift of the Holy Spirit. Peace and love be with you. At this time I am composing volume III. Hope you will enjoy reading and praying with me.
