Women of Life

WOMEN OF LIFE is a compendium of the inspirational and dramatic lives of over 80 women in the Bible. There are virtuous women, crooks, prostitutes, leaders, prophetesses, adulteresses, murderers and philanthropists. So you can just imagine how the story goes- their love, drama, support systems, choices, families, virtues, vices and adventures. From the gigantic staggering faith of Virgin Mary, the supportive friendship of Elizabeth, complexities of two sisters being married to one man, the possible implications of Rachel stealing her father's idols, the helplessness of Bilhah and Zilpah; who were made surrogates, the emotional tale of Samson's first wife, Queen Esther's Grace to Lessons from Queen Vashti's dethronement and so much more.

The courage of Zelophehad's daughters was close to home, the author Janelle Obieroma's father, had 7 daughters in a continent and at a time when several people thought female children were inferior to male children.

This book talks about the diversity and power of Women; the truth, myths and secrets, using Biblical accounts. Women are powerful forces of influence.

Many people bemoan the fact that women cannot be understood. I saw a funny meme encouraging men to give up on ever understanding women, it said that, "if women shave off their god-given brows and draw another for themselves... if women exchange their natural breast for silicon... how can any man ever hope to understand or satisfy them?"

Are women that mysterious? Are women unpredictable? This book gives us a deep insight into the 'WOMAN' God created, what you need to know about her, how to harness the power embedded in her and enjoy the blessings of being her, knowing her and loving her.
