60 Devotions Inspired by Women of the Bible: How These Extraordinary Women Teach You to Walk with God in Your Own Unique Story

Well written

I know the Bible quite a bit, but I've still learned new things and gained new perspectives from this devotional. I love that the women in the book are in chronological order based on their appearance in the Bible. On the first page for each woman, there is a Bible passage that quotes a passage from the Bible regarding the woman. This is either their introduction or a key passage from their story. This is an interesting devotional book that makes me want to read the Bible more.

I'm really enjoying this book of devotions. Each devotion is about two pages long and all follow the same basic format. Each devotion features a woman/group of women from the Bible, and has a passage of related scripture. There are the basic women you'd expect, but I'm also learning about several that were new to me! Then, there's a summary of that woman's role in the Bible along with a way to make it relevant to yourself. There are also thought-provoking questions to ask how you might reflect on similar situations or circumstances in your life, or how could otherwise apply some element from the devotion to yourself.I feel like the topics covered could apply to women of all ages and in all circumstances. There are issues such as comparing yourself to others, dealing with relationships, reflecting on your roles at home/work/church, etc.. In flipping through, I only saw maybe one or two things about raising children, and even then it was a "perhaps" type of thing, so I think this is giftable for single women or those who don't have children. I also like how you could break this up and do one a day, or even one or two a week, whatever fits best for you. Would make a nice gift for someone or even yourself!

As a seminary graduate and ordained pastor in a major denomination, I get shown all kinds of books for my input. My wife saw this one so I got it.Yes, it is simple and comes at some of the issues from a side angle. For example, with Bathsheba, it talked about how they fell short and sinned. While, I'm not sure how much of that really was Bathsheba's fault, I really thought it would have come from the position of recovering from being forced into doing something. But it didn't. It talked about moving past our past. So that was an interesting take on the whole "incident".Overall, this isn't some great theological work for the long-time believer/studier. This is for the person who might not know these stories, gives them the scripture to look them up, and questions to ponder. That's what a good devotion does, it makes you want to know more and makes you think about the scripture.In my opinion it is over priced at $14.99 at the time of this review. If it was 66% cheaper, I'd buy a case of them and hand them out. But way too expensive for that.I hope this review was helpful!

As a mom of two very active toddlers i hardly get time to get deep into the word on a daily basis. This devotional book inspired by women of the Bible is great for me. Each devotion is about a page or two and is well written to draw the most important aspects of each woman. I have enjoyed reading this book and i feel this will be a nice gift for any busy mom.
