Lost Women of the Bible: The Women We Thought We Knew Audiobook

" Huge help as a study guide. She really helps me think about the scriptures in ways that I haven't before: makes me dig deeper. "

" This book looks at women who are often overlooked or undervalued in the bible. She gives a historical perspective, a look at how the woman would feel and think, and how it relates to women today. "

" Every Christian Woman should read this book. It presents a balanced view of the role of women. "

" This author provides a new perspective on the Bible! "

" I loved this book! James is incredibly solid and insightful. I was blown away by her "different" thoughts on some of the Women of the Bible...really insightful and thought-provoking read!!! She really made me THINK and be greatful for the beautiful gift of Womanhood! "

" James is one of my favorite Christian writers - her When Life and Beliefs Collide was one of the most thought-provoking ever. Here she presents a new take of many women of the Bible and the lessons they can teach any woman, whatever her state in life. "

" Have you ever wanted to sucker punch the apostle Paul for his disparaging views on women? If you have, then you need to read this book; we may have misunderstood everything we thought we knew. "

" My favorite chapters were those on Hagar and Esther, though I also really appreciated the chapter on Tamar and gained a new perspective about Mary, the Mother of Jesus. "

" This book was a disappointment. It was so conservative as far as gender roles (then and now), that I found it meaningless in relating to my life and our world today. "

" Not as good as "When life and beliefs collide" but still well done. Great for a women's bible study. "

" Still reading. Good insights so far! "

" Not what I thought it would be... "

" I'm reading this with my Latino Women's bible study. It's so-so. I think that the author speculates quite a bit about what women of the bible were thinking/feeling. The content has sparked many interesting conversations though. "

" This book is amazing. It opened my eyes to so much of God's truth, and the place I have in His plan as a woman. The chapter on Eve alone is worth the price of this book. "

" Wonderful insight to the lives of these awesome women. "

" This book provides an interesting perspective on how the women of the bible are often overlooked and shouldn't be... "

" Read this during the first few months of my marriage... trying to figure out what type of wife to become. Now I want to name a daughter Ezer.. ;-) What a beautifully dignifying portrait of the bible's easily-forgotten women. How honoring and majestic. Loved this book. "

" I found this to be a very eye opening book. I enjoyed the window into ancient cultures. I had just read her other book about Ruth and loved it so I moved on to this one. I actually liked this better. I think all women should read it. It made me feel much better to be a woman. "

" I am "reading" this for our womens bible study- the book is ok, kindof a stretch in speculation on what some understated women in the bible could have been like, but we have some pretty interesting convos as a result of the topics / discussion ques. Eh. "
