Book Review: Twelve Extraordinary Women

By -
Photobucket Author:  John MacArthur

Genre:  Christian

Rating (1=lowest, 5=highest): 5 

Synopsis:  Take a journey into the lives of Anna, Rahab, and Lydia and other Biblical women and see how God worked in their lives!

Like:  I like how MacArthur gives each woman (with the exception of Mary and Martha) their own chapter, therefore giving details and thoughts.  He paints a beatiful and authentic portrait of each woman and how God stirred their hearts.  Theologically sound and very well done!

Don't like:  I didn't find anything that I didn't like.

Conclusion:  MacArthur's study of twelve women from the Bible proved informative, enlightening, and inspiring.  An excellent read!

    What a timely recommendation - I'm currently studying the lives of the women of the Bible. I'm definitely adding this to my reading list!

    Another book that is similar to this one is Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers. She tells the story of five women in the geneology of Jesus and how God worked in their lives. (Tamar, Rehab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary)

One thing He’s been teaching me recent...

I have always been very much a future thinker and would rather write a list of goals rather than recount the events of a past day or flesh out my confusing emotions on paper. But within the past year or two I have been discovering the art of journaling as a spiritual discipline, discovering that journaling has the power to broaden my understanding of God, to help me find the splendor in the ordinary, and to help me see more clearly God's grace at work in my life. - No...
