Book Cover & Preview Text
Scripture is filled with examples of how God used women some of whom in our human eyes should not or would not be suitable instruments to do his work to increase his kingdom. These were ordinary women who discovered how listening and saying yes to God could be rewarding and fulfilling. They found out that God was not interested in what society saw nor was he deterred by any label that mankind had placed on them. What did matter was that God called them for a purpose and that they were willing to complete the task and serve him.
Today many women look at their lives and fill their time with questions such as: Who am I? What meaningful thing could I possibly do? Who would ever want me? The answer to these questions can be found in the fact that God says you are priceless. He does not care about your past, but your future. He already knows everything you have done and everywhere you have been, but when you asked for his forgiveness, He took all of your sins and immediately erased them completely away. What He gave you back was a completely clean slate and the knowledge that he would always be there to help you along the way.
You will see how God was able to use women throughout the bible and in the 21st century. This is a perfect opportunity for individuals or groups to use this as wonderful bible study. With an “Additional Analysis” following each chapter and “Study Guide” at the end it reaches audiences crossing race, socio-economic, age, and denominational borders to encourage the hearts of women everywhere.
