From Eve to Esther

Publisher Description

In the first of a two-book series on women of the Bible, Nell W. Mohney presents eight Old Testament women and the lessons they have for today's women. From familiar women such as Eve and Esther to lesser-known women such as Keturah and Jochebed, Mohney explores the unique circumstances of each woman and the practical and spiritual insights we can glean from her story. Because Scripture often tells little about some of these women, Mohney combines research into the customs of the day with her own imagination to help today's women identify with their biblical counterparts.Each chapter begins with a delightfully refreshing retelling of the biblical woman's story, followed by suggested lessons or insights that contemporary women can apply in their own lives. Mohney's conversational style and numerous anecdotes make for enjoyable reading and discussion. Each chapter includes study helps for individual or group use.
