Many of the names in this book you'll know, such as Sarah, Rachel, Delilah, and Ruth. Others, such as Keturah, Noadiah, and Asenath, will most likely be unfamiliar. But whether well-known or obscure, all these women of the Old Testament provide examples you can learn from and apply to your life today. Some serve as role models you'll want to emulate; others portray qualities to avoid. Together, they comprise a rich cross-section of human character and experience.

This classic by Dr. Abraham Kuyper offers fifty character sketches that radiate scriptural insight. Based on a specific passage of Scripture and concluding with discussion questions, each meditation shows the interweaving of faith--or lack of faith--with the various concerns of life. Though they lived thousands of years ago, the women of the Old Testament are like us in many ways. Drawing from their wisdom and their mistakes, their nobility and their treachery, Women of the Old Testament furnishes life lessons that withstand the test of time.
