    About this audiobook

    Prepare for a life-changing encounter with Jesus, seeing him afresh through the eyes of three women who worship and adore him. Mary of Bethany prepares the way for the Lord's burial when she anoints his feet and fills the air with her perfume. His mother, Mary of Nazareth, stands by her son from his first breath to his last, her loyalty unwavering. Mary Magdalene, delivered of seven demons, bravely supports her teacher through his darkest hours, then proclaims the glorious news of his resurrection. What a trio! What a Savior! A seasoned Bible teacher and award-winning novelist, Liz Curtis Higgs combines her storytelling skills with a thorough verse-by-verse study of Scripture as she explores the lives of these three Marys. Just as she did in The Women of Christmas Liz shows us how we can deepen our walk with the Lord by following in the footsteps of The Women of Easter. "A perfect blend of humor, extensive research, descriptive language, and insightful commentary." --Publisher's Weekly Starred Review of

      If you have an identity issue as a woman, this book will be Gods blessing to your heart, mind and very soul. My gift is an encourager...that's what I'm doing now. I'm encouraging you to read this, follow scripture references, then read it again.

      This book was recommended to me by one of the women in my weekly devotional group. She also commented that Liz Curtis Higgs was doing a daily Lenten focus of the book on her facebook page. Well, that had me hooked. I got the book and very much enjoyed it. I did refer to the facebook page periodically, but I read it through with great interest. What a great concept, seeing the lead up to Easter through the eyes of women in the bible. Higgs breaks down the stories in the Bible starting with Mary of Bethany. I loved hearing more about the life and times of the people. The culture of what was going on interested me and helped me to understand the powerful messages so much better. It was almost like I was there and could see things so much more clearly. The questions at the back of the book were extremely thought provoking. They made you really think about the stories. As other reviewers said, there were a lot of notes, but I chose to ignore them because I did not want to interrupt the flow when I was reading. I really enjoyed this book and it was a great experience leading up to Easter. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.
