Publisher Description
"Women of the Word will help all who read it to find their way deeper into the Word of God without having to be seminary educated, a genius, or even an especially good student." —Kathy Keller
We all know it's important to study God's Word. But sometimes it's hard to know where to start. What's more, a lack of time, emotionally driven approaches, and past frustrations can erode our resolve to keep growing in our knowledge of Scripture. How can we, as Christian women, keep our focus and sustain our passion when reading the Bible?
With over 250,000 copies sold, Women of the Word has helped countless women with a clear and concise plan they can use every time they open their Bible. Featuring the same content as the first edition, and now with added study questions at the end of each chapter, this book equips you to engage God's Word in a way that trains your mind and transforms your heart.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Wilkin, a speaker and women's Bible study teacher, challenges women to move away from viewing the Bible as a way to see themselves and instead to see scripture as a way to see God. She shares from her own early mistakes in Bible study, but also with the eye of a longtime teacher observing her students. She argues that many women sign up for a spiritual "roller-coaster ride," letting their hearts guide their study of the Bible, rather than seeking to understand scripture through diligent and informed study. She encourages women to understand the connection of each part of scripture back to the larger story of what God is doing, keeping in mind how the original audience would have heard the message. Wilkin's challenges to the status quo, grounded in years of observation, ring with gentle wisdom and guide readers in how to study the Bible with greater depth.
