There is always a way back to God
What can Jezebel, the Bible's most devious queen, reveal about God's holiness, power, and even his sense of humor? What about the woman at the well-the one with five husbands and a live-in lover? Or the prostitute whose tears bathe the feet of Jesus in front of people who despise her?
Bestselling author Ann Spangler tells the compelling and entertaining stories of twenty of the Bible's most fascinating and outrageous female characters. At the end of each of these stories, which are painted against the rich, cultural background in which they unfold, Ann provides additional historical details, making this book both an inspirational read and a unique Bible study for individuals and groups.
Wicked Women of the Bible offers fresh understanding to anyone looking for deeper insight into the Scriptures. As you delve into the unvarnished stories of the Bible's wicked-and "wicked good" women, you will begin to understand not only why their stories appear in the Bible, but also how they can yield fruitful insights into your own life.
