Review:

"The ESV Women’s Devotional Bible provides a welcoming table setting in its devotional material, allowing the reader to drink more deeply from the Word because its historical context, literary genre, and theological underpinnings are made accessible to the reader. The men and women who craft the devotional material become old friends, whose voices, wisdom, and infectious love of the Lord invite us to apply faith to our trials."
—Rosaria Butterfield, former professor of English, Syracuse University; author, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert

"This devotional Bible is a helpful tool for any woman who longs to lean deeply into the arms of her Savior by way of His Word."
—Wendy Horger Alsup, mother; author, Practical Theology for Women and The Gospel-Centered Woman

"The ESV Women's Devotional Bible is a wonderful tool for women to experience the unfolding (explaining, opening up) of God's rich Word. Through Spirit led study and the Bible-centered devotional readings, God can use this tool to nurture the hearts of women in their love for him and the holy Scriptures."
—Ellen Mary Dykas, Women’s Ministry Coordinator, Harvest USA; editor, Sexual Sanity for Women

"These essays, character profiles, and devotions provide a readable, accessible, and faithful introduction to key doctrinal truth, winsomely appealing to us to draw near to the triune God with confidence and joy because of our union with Christ."
—Tara Klena Barthel, author, Living the Gospel in Relationships; coauthor, Peacemaking Women
