Prayer Through the Eyes of Women of the Bible

by Ann Spangler, Jean Syswerda

Every day, life brings new challenges, and every day God's Word offers us guidance to meet them. The women of Scripture faced many of the same challenges we face today. From Hannah's struggle with infertility to Ester's need for courage-- many of them might not have held on were it not for the power of prayer. Prayer through the Eyes of Women of the Bible includes the stories of 25 women, each demonstrating God's faithfulness in providing strength and encouragement for the challenge at hand. Their stories help us to both pray better and to understand the incredible power of prayer. Based in the best selling devotional book, Women of the Bible, by Ann Spangler and Jean E. Syswerda, this collection of readings can be used any time of the year for renewal, courage, insight and guidance.

Reviews

[Mary Lou]

A brief introduction to women in the Bible. Not much about prayer, really.

[Jessica · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some good stories were selected. I didn't like the fictionalized account. Prayers made you think, which is always good.
