I’ve been looking for a few good books, that discuss the women of the Bible, their stories and God’s work in their lives….applicable to today. Just a slightly tall order.
Surprisingly The Blessed Woman, by Debbie Morris, came quite close. Chapters were short, well organized, and a good balance between stories and application. It was good, but not perfect.
A variety of issues are tackled throughout the book: Allowing God to use us, giving our children to God, overcoming our own insecurities, services and more. Each one is addressed by a “mentor” in the bible, whether Eve, Naomi, Mary, Hagar or others. Even women who I was not at all familiar with.
I felt that despite how good it was, that it was lacking something that stuck with me. I think if I was to do this book as part of a group study {a study guide is provided in the back of the book} that it would greatly improve the depth of the book.
Would I recommend The Blessed Woman? Yes, I would. Particularly for a small group study.

I received this book for free from Waterbrook Multnomah, as a part of their Blogging for Books program. The opinions I shared here are my own. If you would be willing to rate my review there I would great appreciate it.
