MacArthur, John, 1939-,

Twelve extraordinary women : how God shaped women of the Bible and what He wants to do with you / John MacArthur. - xvii, 205 pages ; 22 cm

Eve : mother of all living -- Sarah : hoping against hope -- Rahab : a horrible life redeemed -- Ruth : loyalty and love -- Hannah : a portrait of feminine grace -- Mary : blessed among women -- Anna : the faithful witness -- The Samaritan woman : finding the water of life -- Martha and Mary : working and worshiping -- Mary Magdalene : delivered from darkness -- Lydia : a hospitable heart opened.

You'll find spiritual lessons drawn directly from the trials and successes of Jesus' ancestors and earliest followers. Many of these women were ordinary, common and in some cases shockingly low-caste, yet each was made extraordinary by her life-changing encounter with God. You'll learn to love the Savior who worked through these unremarkable people to bring about His miraculous plan, and you'll learn how God can use you, too, in extraordinary ways.
