Celebrated for their courage, vision, hospitality, and spiritual giftedness, it's no wonder women were so important to God's plan revealed in the Old and New Testaments. It wasn't their natural qualities that made these women extraordinary but the power of the one true God whom they worshipped and served.
In TWELVE EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN, you'll learn more than fascinating information about these women, you'll discover - perhaps for the first time - the unmistakable chronology of God's redemptive work in history through their lives. These women were not ancillary to His plan, they were at the very heart of it.

**They were ordinary, common, and in some cases shockingly low-caste, yet each was made extraordinary by her life-changing encounter with God.**
Readers will be challenged and motivated by *Twelve Extraordinary Women,* a poignant and personal look into the lives of some of the Bible's most faithful women. Their struggles and temptations are the same trials faced by all believers at all ages. Inside this book, best-selling author and Bible teacher John MacArthur shows that the God to whom they were so committed is the same God who continues to mold and use ordinary people today.

This was a unique book that looks deeper into the accounts of 12 women throughout the Bible. I found it easy to read & understand. It looked at the historical & social context, compared it to other, related, scripture, & explained more fully how events would’ve affected that particular woman. It painted a picture that made these women more relatable to me. At times we’re all guilty of judging the people in the Bible & believe we could’ve acted better. This book helped me see some fresh perspectives, extend compassion & grace, & marvel at their challenges.
I found the chapters on some of the old testament women to be most interesting: Eve, Sarah, Rahab, & Ruth in particular. I’d read those again.

Informative and challenging
I loved reading this book and learning about the lives of these chosen women. God has chosen us too and we are equally ordinary. But our God is extraordinary and that's where the difference lies. With the power of the Holy Spirit living inside us we can live extraordinary lives too. Thanks John MacArthur!

Somewhat disappointing
I was somewhat disappointed in this book. \\r\\nI brought it thinking that I would learn more about the women of the Bible and how important their roles were- considering I hear from many who assume that women are not valued in Christianity. \\r\\nHowever, whilst there was certainly information on the women featured, the book did not seem to highlight what made them extraordinary , and at times seemed to focus on negative qualities. \\r\\n\\r\\nI recommend if you want more information on the women featured, but not if you are seeking what I was.
