Their struggles and temptations are the same trials faced by all believers in all ages. Inside this book, best-selling author and Bible teacher John MacArthur shows that the God to whom they were so committed is the same God who continues to mold and use ordinary people today.

      John MacArthur is my favourite author and preacher and has been for quite some time. His ministry Grace to You gives away a lot of their resources free.

      In this book examining the lives and characters of twelve Bible women, MacArthur focuses on Eve, Sarah, Rahab, Ruth, Hannah, Mary, Anna, The Samaritan Woman, Martha and Mary, Mary Magdalene and Lydia. He details the historical context--I'm always amazed by the level of detail which brings the stories to life in a unique way. He describes the impact of these women on their own people and in their own culture and then makes the application for our generation.

      MacArthur's main conclusion is that all of these women point us to Christ. That they weren't noticed necessarily for their external appearance or acts, but for their hearts. I was interested in his assessment of Eve....

      This book is useful for an in depth character study on each of these women or for a Bible study. I wouldn't advise reading it cover to cover as a story as there is a lot of detail and it might be difficult to take anything in. I read it as a chapter a day which worked quite well.

      I recommend this book, not my favourite by MacArthur but definitely worth a read and you will no doubt learn some cultural and historical context that will be new.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed the chance to consider these women as human beings and not just as "Biblical characters".
    • 5/5
      Excellent exposition! True narrative on the lives of 12 faithful women.
    • 4/5
      Well-known author and pastor John MacArthur guides readers in a study of twelve Biblical women. He shows how God uses each. He shows how their attitudes led them to Biblical greatness. The women included are Eve, Sarah, Rahab, Ruth, and Hannah from the Old Testament, and Mary (mother of Jesus), Anna, the Samaritan woman, Martha, Mary (of Bethany), Mary Magdalene, and Lydia from the New Testament. He often included pieces of cultural context in his biographical narratives for each women. He corrects some often-held views which do not fit with Biblical tradition. I enjoyed this study and the things we can learn and apply to our own lives from these women.
    • 1/5
      Four and a half years after receiving this book for my confirmation, I finally managed to scrape through. I suppose the message is good, but the writing style manages to be both pretentious and condescending, trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator and gorging itself on unnecessary adverbs and adjectives. Thank heavens we're done with it.
    • 5/5
      I loved that even if the "extraordinary" women in this book are quite different from each other, the common thread of faithfulness to God runs through all their stories!
    • 5/5
      This is a great book! It was wonderful to know more about those 12 women. How God used them with their particularities to show their faith in Jesus. It was a great encorajament and also, made me think deeper in some of them such as the Samaritan woman, and Lídia.
    • 4/5
      A smart reminder that women were recognized for their own works. Not family or husband. Would make a good bible study.
    • 4/5
      Good insights applicable to all from the lives of these extraordinary biblical women.
