    About this audiobook

    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 worshiped and served.

    In Twelve Extraordinary Women, 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.

      John MacArthur is my favourite author and preacher and has been for quite some time. His ministry Grace to You gives away a lot of their resources free.

      In this book examining the lives and characters of twelve Bible women, MacArthur focuses on Eve, Sarah, Rahab, Ruth, Hannah, Mary, Anna, The Samaritan Woman, Martha and Mary, Mary Magdalene and Lydia. He details the historical context--I'm always amazed by the level of detail which brings the stories to life in a unique way. He describes the impact of these women on their own people and in their own culture and then makes the application for our generation.

      MacArthur's main conclusion is that all of these women point us to Christ. That they weren't noticed necessarily for their external appearance or acts, but for their hearts. I was interested in his assessment of Eve....

      This book is useful for an in depth character study on each of these women or for a Bible study. I wouldn't advise reading it cover to cover as a story as there is a lot of detail and it might be difficult to take anything in. I read it as a chapter a day which worked quite well.

      I recommend this book, not my favourite by MacArthur but definitely worth a read and you will no doubt learn some cultural and historical context that will be new.

      I enjoyed the chance to consider these women as human beings and not just as "Biblical characters".
    • 1/5
      Four and a half years after receiving this book for my confirmation, I finally managed to scrape through. I suppose the message is good, but the writing style manages to be both pretentious and condescending, trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator and gorging itself on unnecessary adverbs and adjectives. Thank heavens we're done with it.
