Author Description

In 1955 All the Women of the Bible appeared by the gifted authoress, Edith Deen. That book is the most exhaustive source on the theme. In this Sacred Gallery of twelve women the author has presented a mirror to modern-day life answering many of the dilemmas we face. In Abigail, we discover the triumph of a woman who was married to a fool who almost destroyed their home. In Mary Magdalene, we discover a woman who found her way out of the grip of Satan. In Rahab, there is a powerful secret to becoming part of God's redemptive plan of the ages. In Athaliah, there is a dramatic portrait of insane jealousy that led to her untimely death. Dr. Adams has packed this volume full of wisdom on how to handle family problems: how not to choose the wrong mate, how to unconditionally love your children despite their failures, how to rise above a rotten reputation, how to escape sexual temptation, how to effectively persuade your child to follow Jesus Christ, how to recognize Satan's traps, how to turn a tragedy into a triumph, and how to keep your life from being ruled by emotions. With over 3000 characters named in the Bible, women only comprise about five percent of that total. Let us not forget that Jesus turned the male domination of Bible times on its head when He forgave the adulterous woman. Women were great helpers in Jesus' ministry. It was the female gender that was last at the cross and first at the empty tomb. The Bible's portrait is that God always wants women to reach their highest potential in the Creator's design. Dr. Adams has presented a thrilling read in Twelve Amazing Women of the Bible with shocking details straight out of the Scriptures.
