Explore the remarkable stories of the inspirational women of the Bible – from the well-known narratives of Ruth, Deborah, and Esther, to the hidden gems that await discovery. You will see that there is more to them and their stories than meets the eye.
Guided by the illumination given by the Holy Spirit, these Bible books come alive in new and profound ways. Their stories become much more than historical accounts; they become a narrative that points to Jesus – the Source of hope, love, strength, peace, and transformation.
If you’re eager to gain fresh insights and draw inspiration from the lives of these women, these articles are a must-read. Join me in digging deep into all the layers of these wonderful stories:
Esther
God is never mentioned in the Book of Esther. So, why is it in the Bible at all? The hidden message in the Book of Esther offers a deep dive into the true meaning of this important narrative, an illumination that has been deemed mind-blowing by some readers.
Ruth
A widowed foreigner gleaning leftover grain in a stranger’s field is not where you would expect to find the Gospel. But once you have seen how the Book of Ruth points to Jesus Christ, it becomes impossible to unsee.
Proverbs 31
For a lot of women, Proverbs 31 reads like an unattainable list of requirements for becoming the perfect wife and mother. Especially for those whose bodies and minds won’t cooperate. How to be a Proverbs 31 superwoman offers a different view: an encouragement for every Christian.
Abigail
Abigail went behind her husband’s back, contradicted his decision, and Scripture praises her for it. That sits awkwardly with a lot of what women are taught about submission. But nothing in this story is what it seems… If you liked the hidden message in the Book of Esther, you will definitely like the hidden message in the story of Abigail.
Deborah
Deborah’s story is telling us more than meets the eye. The fact that she was a female leader is not the only thing that stands out about her. How to be like Deborah reveals important insights we can apply to our leadership today.
Dinah
Genesis 34 tells the shocking and difficult story of Dinah’s violation. But her name means “vindicated,” and that points to the one thing no one can take by force.
