Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both our Hearts and Minds

Endorsements:

"I found Women of the Word to be so practical in the way it demystifies serious Bible study. Too many people-men and women-opt for just reading a few verses and hoping for some inspiration, rather than discovering the meaning of the text in the sweep of God's redemptive plan. Women of the Word will help all who read it to find their way deeper into the Word of God without having to be seminary educated, a genius, or even an especially good student. My only caveat is that I wish the title didn't make it hard for men to read . . . they need it, too."
--Kathy Keller, Assistant Director of Communications, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City, New York

"I've seen eyes misty with tears as women come to understand for the first time that the Bible is actually, literally God's Word. What great mercy we have been shown-that the Creator who spoke everything that ever was into existence would give us his Word. Jen Wilkin knows this mercy in the core of her being. She has tasted and seen God's goodness in his Word, and she doesn't want a single woman to miss it. Read Women of the Word with your Bible open and your friends alongside you. Think of this book as a maître d` of a Bible study banquet-have a seat, here are your utensils, dig in, and enjoy."
--Gloria Furman, author, Missional Motherhood and Treasuring Christ When Your Hands Are Full

"This book responds to the feelings-driven, me-centered approach that has too often dominated our study of the Scriptures. Jen encourages women to grow in knowledge of the Word in order to know our Lord. She speaks out of her own joyful and growing experience of learning to dig in. May her voice be joined by many others!"
--Kathleen Nielson, author; speaker; Senior Adviser, The Gospel Coalition

"Reading the Bible can sometimes seem daunting. There are difficult passages, many interpretations, and often so little time to read thoroughly. Jen Wilkin recognizes this and provides tools to help us navigate it all. Women of the Word gives us a blueprint for Bible literacy. If we want to know the God we love, we must engage our minds and know his Word where he reveals himself. Wilkin's tools may be new for some, but the effort will be worth the reward. Ultimately, it's about seeing and savoring our Savior."
--Trillia Newbell, author, Sacred Endurance; If God Is for Us; and God's Very Good Idea

"How can we go deeper than a little dabbling in the Bible for inspiration? Jen Wilkin shows us how in this must-read for every woman interested in teaching and leading Bible discussion groups in your church."
