The women of the Bible lived timeless
stories—by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of
faith.

People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that
women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central
figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point
in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like
Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to
witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first
Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world
forever.

In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel's Shannon Bream opens
up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and
contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect
not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate
to each other and to us.

From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped
raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians,
the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female
characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair,
and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In
studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to
better navigate our own faith journeys.

The Women of the Bible Speak outlines
the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the
audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual
story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and
insights that can transform our own lives today.
