Publisher's Synopsis
This book begins with references in Isaiah and ends with the twelfth of the Twelve Minor Prophets in telling the stories of Biblical women. Perhaps the most interesting stories are in Ezekiel and Hosea. Ezekiel has two wives, one a gentile slave lost to him in his youth and rediscovered after his first wife's death. Hosea of course has Gomer, the ever unfaithful wife he loves deeply. There are some surprises, though: Jonah's whale is a female one.
