Opis

"Voices of Women," 'lessons from women, for women and men, ' is a devotional book which elaborates the lives of Biblical and contemporary women. Spiritual, social, economic and physical experiences are visualized for and with you. But this is not just a devotional. It is an edifying assemblage of the lives and lessons learned from women, some of whom you might have never heard of before. Others are famous. The life of each woman is described in daily portions with scriptures and commentary by the author. There are three broad themes that cover Godly/Positive Women, Ungodly/Negative Women, and Contemporary Women. Some of the women are placed in a theme that will present surprises to readers. There are no dates in the book so that there is no pressure to specifically keep up with any of the 366 days. Beginning the cycle all over again therefore will be very easy. While the lessons are from women, men will find quite a lot of learning moments embedded in the pages of this book that are relevant to their lives.
