 Good Women in the Bible workbook.
This workbook is good for a suppliment to the BOOK, Women in the Bible. I was wanting the BOOK, not the workbook. I even looked at the table of contents to verify it was the same as the one I needed. Well of course they matched. I didn't understand this was a softsided workbook not the main book that has additional informational insite to the stories covered. Ultimately the $15+ I spent wasn't really a good buy without the actual BOOK to go with my new WorkBook. I would have boughten both if I had known there were two pieces to the study material. Thanks, SP
 Women of the Bible
Excellent information and format for use with study groups. Includes Biblical material about each woman, information about the times in which she lived and links with today, as well as excellent questions for group discussion.
Book
Good Bible Study. Has good questions to relate story of Biblical women to today. Prompts easy discussion.
Works great for me
I got this to do with my friend of 20 years over the phone once a week. We live 1 hour and 30 mins apart and this has been a great way for us to connect and learn God's word and about the women of the Bible. We totally love it.
Thorough look at the women in the Bible
I've never read the original book, so my review is based on what I read solely from this Study Book.
This book has 52 discussions, each of which discusses one woman of the Bible. It gives out basic character of the woman, and some key scriptures. I like how it prints out some scriptures from the Bible that form a summary of the story, such that we don't have to spend too much time opening up the verses (you will still need to open up some verses on your own from the Bible during discussion).
I also like the "So-and-so's Life and Times" section that explains the culture of the society during which each woman in the story lived. This really helps us in understanding the decisions that they made that we, in today's world, would otherwise have considered absurd. And, this helps us to relate their struggles with ours today.
I used this book with some young women small group (teens to early twenties). All of them never read the Bible front to back. So, for me one of the strongest points of this book is that it thoroughly leads us to walk through pretty complete history of the Bible. Most other bible study books go by topics, and thus sometimes are not as thorough.
Despite the detailed history part, the discussion questions are not boring (as most history books are) but they are pretty interesting and help the members to open up with each other.
All in all, I was satisfied more that I expected with this book. Plus, it has 52 stories, so I won't have to worry anytime soon of having to find another bible study book.
