Name: Women of the Bible Speak Out
Author: Marlo Schalesky
Genre: Women Fiction, Betrayal, Abuse, Healing, Hope
Review:
Sin broke our relationship with our
Creator, fractured all our relationships. So we live in broken-
ness—but not in hopelessness.
A modern retelling of the stories of the women of the Bible from a woman's point of view. A new perspective can change the way we see things. A strengthening and a true feminist mindset devours and questions the lives of those women.
I have read those stories before, it has been taught to us since childhood. But when we read this book, it's an eye opening experience for me.
God has created man and woman equal, different but equal. He loved them equally, it's the society, it's the people themselves who degraded the position of woman to that of the subordinate, to that of inferior. Seeing from their perspective, it is seen that God has always been fair and just.
Amazing book with strengthens the position of woman since the very beginning. Loved it

Marlo Schalesky uses the Bible stories of twenty women to address her contemporary female audience struggling with issues like betrayal, anger, abuse, rejection, domination, danger, oppression, shame, and scorn. From Eve and Sarai to Hannah to characters in the Gospels like the Samaritan woman, a woman caught in adultery and brought before Jesus, and the sinful woman breaking the alabaster jar with perfume to anoint Jesus Christ and dry his feet with her hair.

Schalesky lets these women speak out, often with a fictional narrative true to the BIblical context. In Women of the Bible Speak Out Stories of Betrayal, Abuse, Healing, and Hope, she points out how these women deal with the adversary circumstances to offer hope, healing, and an open door to the readers. Next, an elaboration of where God is amidst these troubled situations according to Scripture, and an encouragement to close off each chapter are provided. There's power in hope, forgiveness, love, and gratefulness. God offers His healing, comfort, wholeness, and peace to women today.… (más)

Sometimes, it is all too easy to look at biblical stories and misinterpret God’s perception and purpose for women. In Women of the Bible Speak Out, Marlo Schalesky delves into the accounts of well-known female figures, highlighting how their experiences prove relevant still today—especially as God’s treatment of them offers necessary hope. Though these women have long been familiar to me, Schalesky provided me with plenty on which to think, consider, and further research. I enjoyed how approachable she made her text and easily recommend it to interested, thoughtful readers.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
