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.

" Wonderful book! The women of the Bible are truly extraordinary, and this book gives a clear, concise look at several women worth emulating! "
" This was a great tool to learn more about the unknown women of the good book that we read over too quickly. The author spends a chapter on each women and better examines the life of influential women such as Hannah, the mother of Saul. It was good to review some of the more notable characters like Esther as well. "
" Another great book for women's small group bible study, there is a study guide available....great questions and insights; good to read along with the Bad Girls of the Bible, when looking for opposits, etc. "
" It was an all right read, although I much preferred Captivating by John and Stasi Elderedge. "
" Another excellent book by John MacArthur. Highly recommend this book as a follow-up to Twelve Ordinary Men. "
" This was an easy read and very interresting. MacArthur did a great job bringing these women of the Bible to life. "
" We are reading in our Small Group this summer and are on the chapter about Rahab. So far I've learned a lot I didn't know about Eve and Sarah. "
" This was our Tuesday bible study book this year. Loved learning more about these amazing women. They not only showed their love for Jesus but inspired others to follow Him. I highly recommend it. "
" Even more interesting than 12 Ordinary Men. Great insight into the lives and faith of these amazing women. "
" About two thirds the way through I started disagreeing theologically with some of his conclusions which made it difficult to weed through the rest. I really enjoyed the chapter on Hannah. Probably won't recommend. "
" I really should not rate this book because I never finished reading it. We did sell it at a book sale for Relay to Life. "
" Reading with my Sister's Bible Study Group thru RVCC here in So. Oregon "
" Good insight into the women of the Bible. "
" Wonderful Bible study I did with my sister!!! I recommend doing it with someone! "
" Awesome study! God is truly the extraordinary one! "
" I found this book to be excellent in delving into the lives of twelve women that were touched by Jesus each in a unique way. I did the study & have used some of the material to teach some Bible studies. "
" This author takes many liberties and stretches his beliefs beyond what the Bible states. His "facts" are not always facts. Better editing could have been done with this book also. I will steer clear of this author. "
" Love it so far, will probably read again and will use for referencing Bible "
" I thought it was very interesting. John MacArther does a great job of bringing these women to life and showing us a good example on why they are important to the Bible. "
" Great biographical sketches on 12 women in the Bible. Worth the read. "
" While the historical/cultural background information was certainly interesting, this author is definitely sexist. And anti-catholic, too, based on the chapter on Mary. Arrgh! "
" Wonderful insight into the life of some godly women. The one thing they all have in common is an extraordinary God. "
" I enjoyed the chance to consider these women as human beings and not just as "Biblical characters". "

Maurice England moved to the Chicago area in the fall of 2006, after a twelve year run as a long-haul trucker, to continue the cultivation of his lifelong interest in the expressive arts and oral interpretation. A veteran audiophile, Maurice listened to well over one thousand audiobooks while on the road and fell in love with the genre. From his past experience in broadcasting, community theater, music performance, and ministry he saw narrating as a means to merge his love for books, ideas, learning, and spiritual evolution with his interest in artistic expression. While his narration experience has primarily been nonfiction, personal development, and spiritual-growth titles, Maurice anticipates using his authentically warm and folksy southern style to entertain and inspire through storytelling. Inspired most by the behind-the-scenes artists who engineer, direct, edit, and master the audiobook productions we hear, Maurice has become an absorbed student and participant in the process.
