Now available in IVP's revised LifeGuide(R) Bible Study format, Women of the Old Testament features twelve sessions with questions for starting group discussions and for personal reflection.

Book Synopsis

It's Their Ordinary Faith that Changed History

They were ordinary people. Most would not make headlines in any other history book but God's. Yet the women of the Old Testament made critical choices that led to extraordinary outcomes. Through their faith and strong character, they rescued their families, led people out of bondage, gave birth to kings, and even saved a nation.

Through studying the lives of Old Testament women like Eve, Hagar, Miriam, Ruth, Hannah, the Shunammite woman, and more, you will see how your own everyday choices and actions can also have far-reaching impact.

Let their choices challenge you, apply the lessons they learned to your own life, and let their faith and praise inspire your own.

This 12-Session LifeGuide(R) Bible study features:

• A guide to getting the most out of the study, including suggestions for how to participate in individual or group study
• Leader's notes for preparation and leading a group through the study
• "Now or Later" section following each session to help you act on what you learn
