Discover how true faith can leave a lasting legacy with a poignant and personal look into the lives of some of the Bible's most faithful women.
Come and take a deeper look at women who were ordinary, common, and in some cases even ostracized and rejected by society, yet each was made extraordinary by her life-changing encounter with God.
In Twelve Extraordinary Women, bestselling author and Bible teacher John MacArthur shows you that the God to whom they were so faithful is the same God who continues to mold and guide you today.
As you meet these women in Scripture and get to know more about their lives and characters, they will challenge you, motivate you, encourage you, and inspire you with love for the God whom they trusted, served, and loved, teaching you that:
- Your personal struggles and temptations are the very same kinds of trials that all believers of all ages have confronted
- Even in the midst of your trouble, God remains eternally faithful
- Through God, anyone can become extraordinary
Some of the women you'll come to know include:
- Ruth (Ruth 1- 4)
- Anna (Luke 2:36-38)
- Martha and Mary, sisters of Lazarus (Luke 10:38-42)
- Mary Magdalene (Matthew 27:56-61)
- Sarah (Genesis 11-25)
- Hannah (1 Samuel 1-2)
- The Samaritan woman (John 4)
- Mary, the mother of Jesus (Luke 1-2)
From Eve to the Samaritan Woman, these twelve women each serve as reminders of both our frailty and our potential. Together, they all point us to Christ and His grace.
