Jen Wilkin says a phrase that encompasses everything she wants to say in her book: "We become what we behold." Isn't that true? What we behold is what occupies most of our time. To behold, one must observe; what we behold is what we think about most. That's why we must be women of the Word, because in the Bible God speaks to us, and that is where we can behold Him.
We all know it's important to study God's Word. However, sometimes it's hard to know where to start. Furthermore, lack of time, the experience of studying out of emotional motivation, and past frustrations can undermine our determination to continue growing in our knowledge of the Scriptures. How can Christian women stay focused and sustain their passion when reading the Bible? This book offers a clear and brief plan to help women deepen their Bible study. It will also prepare them to approach God's Word in a way that intellectually empowers and spiritually transforms them.
"This book is so practical it demystifies serious Bible study. Women of the Word will help anyone who reads it to dig deep into God's Word, without having been seminary educated, without being a genius, or even without being a particularly good student." Kathy Keller, Assistant Director of Communications, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City, New York
"A must-read for every woman interested in teaching and leading Bible discussion groups in her church." Nancy Guthrie, Bible teacher; author of the Bible study series: Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament.
