Synopsis

Few will deny that we live in an era of great change--especially in redefining the roles of women. But in her book 'A Woman God Can Lead,' Dr. Alice Mathews examines the lives of twenty-two Old Testament and New Testament women from Eve to Mary to offer timeless biblical guidelines that women can apply in today's circumstances. These guidelines help women make better choices and make them better followers of the Master. This two-in-one volume combines Mathews' 'A Woman God Can Use' (on Old Testament women) and 'A Woman Jesus Can Teach' (on New Testament women), which continue to be available as individual volumes. Includes questions for group or individual study.
