Description

This 8-session Bible study examines the lives and experiences of 7 women from ancient Israel; their flaws, faith, struggles and solutions. The last session considers the description of a godly wife in Proverbs 31.

By studying the lives of these women, not only will you learn practical lessons about how to live God’s way in God’s world, but you'll be drawn nearer to God, in Jesus Christ, yourself.

Flexible and easy to use, this Good Book Guide is perfect for groups and individuals. A concise Leader’s Guide is included in the back. There are optional bonus sections if you have extra time, including icebreaker ideas.

Each session of this Bible study will draw you to…

  • Look closely at the Bible text and apply it meaningfully to your everyday life
  • Consider questions that open up discussion
  • Ponder optional personal reflection questions
  • Pray in response to what you have studied

“I love this small-group study-guide series. The guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.” Michael J. Kruger, President and Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary

“Each guide in this series provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track, plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.” - Tim Chester, Crosslands Training; Author

I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.

The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.

The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and  apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!

“Very informative and well set out”

(Review written for 'Women of Faith')

This has been a very useful resource and I will be recommending it to other house groups in my church.

“Good and challenging”

(Review written for 'Women of Faith')

This study is very good. Perfect for someone new to leading Bible studies. The group have appreciated the detail and the challenging questions. I am a little disappointed with the copy I purchased as some of the printing is very pale but I know you can’t check every book.

“Thought provoking”

(Review written for 'Women of Faith')

Started a women’s Bible study. I am using this book as the basis of our studies. We don’t cover every question in the sessions as we wouldn’t have time but I look at them all so can draw on them and we have great discussions.

“Plenty to think about”

(Review written for 'Women of Faith')

I’m part of a zoom Bible study group and ‘Women of Faith’ is proving suitable for a mix of Christian experience, although I feel it makes a difference that some of the group have in-depth Bible knowledge as this contributes immensely to the discussions in answer to the questions posed. Without this, some answers may just be ‘two dimensional. While there aren’t ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ answers, there are leaders notes tucked away at the book of the book to help the discussions along. This also means that in our group we can share the leading of different sessions. With our group, we’ve found allowing two evenings of study (each evening is 80 minutes maximum, ie two free zoom sessions!) has helped us not to rush things, allows us time to read out loud the Bible passages, while still leaving ‘homework’ to consider the more personal questions.
Of the studies themselves, focussing on women is both interesting and challenging, and offers different perspectives on passages we may already be familiar with.

“Women of Faith in the O.T.”

(Review written for 'Women of Faith')

This looks an excellent study book which we are planning to use with our ladies group in the New Year.I like the way the studies are set out, with questions which are relative to the passage. I also like the "explore more" questions which compare other scriptures with the same theme, because they add extra insight into the passage being studied. The leaders' notes at the end offer a good back up and clearly explain the point of each question. I shall look forward to starting it in January. Beryl.

“Women of Faith from the old testament”

(Review written for 'Women of Faith')

Very good to help us study these ladies of faith. We are only on the third character. There is a wrong reference in study no 2, question 6 should read Genesis 18 v 1-15.

Thanks Jenny! We'll get that reference fixed in the next reprint. Glad you enjoyed the study.

“recommendable”

(Review written for 'Women of Faith')

This book is easy to use and has something to say to all levels of spiritual maturity. It is especially relevant in these times of confusion and contradiction regarding gender rĂ´les. Good for groups. I wish it included women of faith from the New Testament as well. The font size is uncomfortably small.

Hi JJ,
Have a look at Meeting Jesus (www.thegoodbook.co.uk/products/gmj). This is the New Testament equivalent.
Sorry you find the font size too small. I'll mention that to the editorial team.
Thanks for your feedback!

“Good discussion material”

(Review written for 'Women of Faith')

Used this book with a group of young mums, mostly young in faith. All found it a useful introduction to familiar and not so familiar Bible characters. Provoked good discussion. This is a series of books I had not seen before but would certainly use again.

“A good study ”

(Review written for 'Women of Faith')

We found this a deeper study than we expected. Our house group consists of 10people at the moment. Most of us have been in the same house group and church for many years and so are an experienced group.
It has been refreshing to look at these women of faith in a different way; the questions have truly been thought provoking. A study that is interesting for beginners and equally good for groups like us who have enjoyed going deeper.
