Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Sarai is the reason we have a story about Hagar, Sarah’s maid, in the Bible. She was supposed to be in charge of getting the wife pregnant, but somehow this didn’t happen. Hagar ends up having a child by Abram. Sarah becomes pregnant, but before she knows it, she is visited by an angel who demands she sleep with Abram before he has a child (he’s old! He’s going to die soon!). Sarah refuses. The angel then gives her a choice: You may have anyone you want as a husband—but my servant Abram will have a son. Sarah says, No way—I want Abram. And the angel says, Okay, then I will give him your brother (Abram) as a husband. And that’s how we get two wives and one husband in the Bible. God had already intended this. In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses writes: When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, do not be afraid of them. #2 Sarai and Abram have a child. Sarai is overjoyed. But fourteen years later, when the baby is born, and the family realizes it’s a boy, they have the same reaction as when the angel told them they would have a son: They laugh. #3 God has always intended for us to have a husband and a wife. In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses writes: When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, do not be afraid of them. The Lord your God who brought you up from the land of Egypt will help you defeat your enemies. Sarah’s childless life would test her childlike faith. #4 God wanted to change history by giving Abraham and Sarah a child, but they couldn’t figure it out for fourteen years. God had always intended for them to have a husband and a wife. 2. What is the difference between integrity and security. How do you determine which one to chase.

Do you ever feel like a second-class citizen in this world? Do you wonder how God could possibly use you to change lives? For women in Bible times, these weren't even questions they thought about. Being overlooked, marginalized, having your contributions discounted because you're a woman...it's just the way things were. In this 10-lesson workbook, Max Lucado tells some of his favorite accounts of women in Scripture and the remarkable way God broke down cultural barriers to use them in the unfolding of His story. You will discover... Sarah, the woman whom God promised would give birth to a nation, but who tried to rush things when God's promises didn't seem to be coming to pass. Rahab, a prostitute in the Canaanite city of Jericho, who would save herself and her family through her faith in the one true God of the Israelites. Abigail, a woman forced to play peacemaker by the barbaric behavior of her husband. Esther, a young queen whom God placed in the Persian court for “such a time as this” to prevent the genocide of the Jewish people. Mary, the young virgin pledged to Joseph, whom God would choose to give birth to Jesus, the promised Messiah who would save the world. The Samaritan Woman, who would meet this Messiah at a well one day. His words would forever after change her life. The Canaanite Woman, who made God smile with her wit and faith, and who received from Jesus an answer to her prayer. Mary of Bethany, a friend of Jesus who witnessed the resurrection of her brother, Lazarus, and then anointed Christ in anticipation of his death and resurrection. Mary Magdalene, who followed Jesus despite the injustice of a world that judged her for her past and said she would always be considered a failure. Sapphira, a woman in the early church who, along with her husband, made the unfortunate (and deadly) decision to lie to the Holy Spirit. These stories show us there is a God who sees us where we are and loves us for who we are. He is the one who hovers over all the pages of the Bible, shaping lives, rescuing hearts, healing sicknesses, raising what was dead to life, and passing out high callings to those who choose to follow him and have faith in him. Each lesson includes: 5 Daily in-depth Bible studies to help you explore the stories in Scripture Daily points to remember to help you summarize the key points Daily prayers to help you focus your thoughts and move into your quiet time Weekly memory verses to help you hide God's word in your heart Additional notes to help you lead a group through the study Ten Women of the Bible is a standalone workbook, ideal for both individual use and for study in a small-group setting.

We don't even know all their names. Some are referred to only by their nationality. Some are known only by the place where they lived. Some would become queens, while others would live on the fringes of society. One would give birth to a nation, and one would give birth to the Messiah. Their culture often overlooked or discounted the contributions of women, yet the writers of Scripture found these women and the role they played remarkable to the telling of God's story. As we study the lives of the women in the Bible, we find important truths that God wants us to grasp. They lived in a different world than our own, but we find ourselves facing the same issues they faced. Yet even more, these women show us there is a God who sees us where we are and loves us for who we are. He is the one who hovers over all the pages of the Bible, shaping lives, rescuing hearts, healing sicknesses, raising what was dead to life, and assigning high callings to those who choose to follow him and have faith in him. In this 10-session workbook, Max Lucado tells some of his favorite accounts of these ten women--Sarah, Abigail, Esther, the Samaritan Woman, Mary Magdalene, and others--and describes what set them all apart. EACH SESSION INCLUDES 50 in-depth Bible studies to help you navigate the stories in Scripture Daily points to remember to help you summarize the key points Daily prayers to help you focus your thoughts and move into your quiet time Weekly memory verses to help you hide God's word in your heart Additional notes to help you lead a group through the study Ten Women of the Bible is ideal for both individual use and for study in a small-group setting.

Sarah, Miriam, Ruth, Rahab, Naomi, Abigail... here are studies on ordinary yet remarkable women whose lives demonstrate real courage and faithfulness.
