Bream presents lessons we can glean from 16 women of the bible- from Jael the warrior to Rehab the prostitute. God has used each for His plan in a unique way. In these pages lie wisdom for us to take from each circumstance they have found themselves in. This is a book of God seeing each, even in their own littleness. Discussion questions included at the end of each chapter. ( ) The author displays a great grasp of the Bible. I elected to read this to see if I could identify the unique aspects of a woman's view of the Bible. Lo and behold, I found it, or at least one. She used the word fear to describe reluctance to speak where fear wouldn't occur. Of course, this is not the main difference between male and female writing but it satisfied me; your mileage might be different. Always there but not usually recognized is the fact of women in leadership roles. We're accustomed to the subservient role of women in ancient times but none of the women about whom Bream writes were subservient. For some, this might be a jarring revelation so it is well that she has taken on that role. And, in this day when editing is often so carelessly done in new books, this has none that I could find. That's a hoorah. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The women of the Bible lived timeless stories-by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith. People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther's bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus' resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever. In The Women of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual's life, but on how they relate to each other and to us. From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys. The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman's individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
