Real Lives, Eternal Lessons: Learning from Women of the New Testament combines narrative and Biblical text to focus on the women during the unfolding of the New Testament. Grounded in scripture, the book provides insight into their strengths and weaknesses for believers today.
Each chapter invites readers to step into the first-century world and see the spread of the gospel through a fresh lens. With over sixty women and groups, readers encounter those who asked questions, wept for mercy, reached out for healing, and gave generously of their time and resources.
The study offers both encouragement and caution through real lives during extraordinary times. When it feels that prayers are unheard, remember Anna's years of worship and waiting. When you feel worthless, remember the weeping sinner. When you are tempted to go along with wrongdoing, remember Sapphira who chose deception. When you need to trust, remember the generous widow. Each example offers a point of reflection.
Ideal for personal devotion, Bible study groups, and classroom use, this book encourages readers to learn from these portraits of faith and struggles.
