Description
Contemporary "success" is often defined in financial terms or by number of Twitter followers. But for women of faith, success is so much more. And it turns out the timeless qualities of success are exemplified by women on the pages of their favorite book, the Bible. Deborah's model leadership is just as relevant today as it was in the age of the Hebrew judges. Esther's courage to stand up for a cause, Miriam's joyful support of others, Priscilla's exemplary partnership skill, Lydia's business acumen, and other characteristics of women in the Bible are embodied in lively storytelling. Busy Christian women -- often working and raising a family -- crave examples of success. Here are distilled principles they can use to succeed in today's noisy culture. The lessons of these icons of the faith apply, even in the age of Facebook and Instagram.

This uncharacteristically electric, incredibly humbling, and monumentally memorable in every way. This book touches this woman in so many deep parts of her heart and soul. For example - it starts out with Miriam, she lead the Praise of the women of Moses and Aaron. She leads the people to Praise and worship reminding the people of the mighty things HE has done. The author tells us all about Miriam with the Scriptures to back it all up then they go and give us more description in detail on how Miriam was a Successful women of the Bible and I can tell you what - she was a mighty mighty woman of the Bible - and I Praise the LORD ALMIGHTY that HE used woman as well as men to effect HIS people and HIS word. Then he talks about Deborah, Hagar, Esther, Daughters of Zelophehad, Mary and Martha, Lois and Eunice, Mary Magdalene, Priscilla, and Lydia. Can you believe how much GOD loves us Women - that HE uses us too - even when it was in the times when women were to be seen and not heard? Isn't it good to know that GOD uses women as well as men to touch the heart of men and women - and to get things moving? We can still do these powerful works today you know ladies. GOD is good

This is a wonderful book on the study of certain women in the Bible, that can help teach us that we all have worth and value.
A good self study tool for devotions, or even in a group setting

Successful Women of the Bible was such a delight to read. While I have read about each of the women mentioned in the book, the book offered such a fresh and more in-depth way of seeing these women. Ms Patton does such a great job of showing today's woman how these women of the Bible can be used as practical mentors in our everyday life.
