  <default-description>&lt;p&gt;Celebrated for their courage, vision, hospitality, and spiritual giftedness, it's no wonder women were so important to God's plan revealed in the Old and New Testaments. It wasn't their natural qualities that made these women extraordinary but the power of the one true God whom they worshipped and served.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In &lt;em&gt;Twelve Extraordinary Women&lt;/em&gt;, you'll learn more than fascinating information about these women, you'll discover-perhaps for the first time-the unmistakable chronology of God's redemptive work in history through their lives. These women were not ancillary to His plan, they were at the very heart of it.&lt;/p&gt;</default-description>

He glossed over the sins of the women he covered, making their mistakes appear to be hicks-up and tried to show that even when someone did not trust God, what she really was doing was showing...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3377092">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Very interesting character studies, I especially liked the chapters on Eve and Lydia. MacArthur does a good job painting a vivid bio of these women, even with only a few verses in some cases.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love the historical background as well as the details that MacArthur gives for every one of the 12 women in the Bible. When you are done reading, you come out loving God's grace all the more.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really liked the insight the author brought into the lives of women of the Bible.  Some were ones I've heard a ton about and others weren't so well known.  I refer back to it a lot.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[While the historical/cultural background information was certainly interesting, this author is definitely sexist.  And anti-catholic, too, based on the chapter on Mary.  Arrgh!]]></body>
