The Message Women's Devotional Bible (Hardcover) - Hardcover

by Eugene H. Peterson (Author)

The Message of the Bible by Women, for Women
The Scriptures are meant for us, to draw near to God and discover God's vision for us. The Message Women's Devotional Bible invites women of all ages and life experiences to consider what it means to be made in God's image and invited into God's mission out of our unique design. With down-to-earth insights into the experience of women throughout Scripture and informed by the wisdom of women in our contemporary context, this women's devotional Bible expands our imagination for faithfulness in our time.

Often overlooked in the Scriptures are women actively participating in the story of God. Many of them are unnamed; many of them are only mentioned or alluded to. But the message of the Scriptures is incomplete without them. This Bible draws our attention to the insights hidden in their stories and the relevance of their lives to ours.

Special features include:

• 320 topical devotions,
• Contributions written by women of diverse ethnicities, backgrounds, and vocations,
• Special Biblical section introductions highlighting the needs and interests of women,
• 52 profiles on important figures in the Bible,
• Space and sensitivity for women to engage difficult Bible passages,
• Fresh and candid insights into often-neglected Biblical passages and personalities.
