Synopsis

HOW DO THE WOMEN OF THE BIBLE SPEAK TODAY? Is there something about being a woman that transcends time and cultural differences? Are we, even after centuries of change, still "sisters under the skin" with women of radically different cultures who lived so long ago?

This companion study guide to the book Daughters of Eve looks in depth at the stories of ten biblical women. Designed to be used with or without the book (each session contains an excerpt), this guide has today's busy woman in mind. There is no prior preparation required-you can jot down your thoughts and responses during the discussion. Or, if you prefer, your group can work on the material in advance of your discussion. Each session includes Scripture passages, one woman's story (an excerpt from Daughters of Eve), your thoughts, and a suggested response of prayer.

Many things have changed since biblical times. But at least one thing remains the same: being a woman is as challenging as it ever was. Come discover the uniqueness of womanhood-the things that after all these years still unite us as Daughters of Eve.
