Courageous Women of the Bible- Review and Giveaway

By: Melissa Baker

Have you ever wondered how you can make a difference as a woman? Or how you can be more courageous and bold in your faith? If so, I would highly recommend you dive right in to "Courageous Women of the Bible" by Latan Roland Murphy. I really enjoyed reading about courageous women of the Bible. This book is well written and incredibly encouraging, no matter what your situation or circumstance is. Each chapter talks about a woman of the Bible that was chosen as one of the courageous women, that the author wanted us to learn from. There are scriptures and quotes throughout each chapter.  At the end of each chapter, there is a section called "Courage Quest" where we as readers, are asked a few questions for us to ponder and look at our own lives and evaluate. At the very end of the book, there is a journal chapter. This is really a nice touch and a helpful tool.  This book as been really refreshing and eye opening for me. I really enjoyed learning about each lady the author spoke about, and how I could relate to them. I am inspired and ready to live a life of confidence and freedom!

About the Book:

Whether you're facing struggles with singleness, the mounting challenges of marriage and motherhood, health issues, a financial crisis--God has equipped you to walk in freedom and confidence as you abide in Him, strengthened by His power and provision. Through the stories of eleven brave women of the Bible who made faith-filled choices that positioned them for success, LaTan Roland Murphy exhorts, encourages, and empowers women of all ages. With warmth and wit, she illustrates how you, like Deborah, Jael, Mary, and others, can look beyond your circumstances and lay hold of the courage needed to 

· draw closer to Jesus when facing illness, isolation, or rejection;
· live and give generously, even amid financial hardship; and
· step out into faithful, fearless living as a wife, mother, friend or coworker--no matter the season of life or what lies ahead.

Thought-provoking study questions and an interactive journaling section will help take you even deeper in your quest for a more courageous, confident life, either on your own or with a group.
