In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel's Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. ![]() The women of the Bible lived timeless stories-by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith. ![]()

![]() ![]() We must have been a very noisy bunch, and I'm not sure how our parents put up with being cooped up with us in the car for those trips.

Despite a description of the sections at the beginning of the book, I didn’t see a clear progression among topics.Īnother weakness of this book for me was that I already knew a lot of the information in the first three-quarters of the book.

The disjointedness of the anecdotes in this book was definitely my main complaint. ![]() It’s been more than 6 years since I read The Violinist’s Thumb, so I’m not sure how cohesive it felt. I might just not have been in the right mood for this one though, because it didn’t wow me in the same way. I loved the author’s similar book on genetics, The Violinist’s Thumb. This collection of fun facts and historical anecdotes about the elements of the periodic table is, in theory, precisely my sort of book. Summary: I expected to love this, but it was disjointed and short on exciting, new-to-me anecdotes.
