The history of civilization has been influenced by sin, thus distorting the principles God established for women and their role in this world. A summary of Scripture establishing God's standard for women followed by the example of the virtuous woman in Prov 31:10-31 introduces Women Who Shaped the World. Part one, ""Women Who Birthed a Nation,"" features Sarah and Rebekah. Part two, ""Women of a Chosen People,"" focuses on the lives of Miriam and Rahab. Part three highlights ""Women of Courage in Adversity"" and addresses the lives of Deborah, Ruth, Naomi, and Hannah. Part four, ""Women Who Walked with Jesus,"" tells the stories of three Marys and Martha. The first is the story of the mother of Jesus. The second is the story of Mary and Martha. Rounding out the section is the story of Mary Magdalene. Part five is ""Women Who Built a Church."" The three women in this section are Priscilla, Dorcas, and Lydia. Each woman had a character trait that defined the type of person she was. There is some narrative giving context to the trait emphasized in the chapter. These women were not perfect, struggled with sin, and suffered difficult circumstances, but they were also women of faith.

Reviews for Women Who Shaped the World

""Renate offers real biblical insights with a personal touch. She champions the truth that women are 'defined by God's view of them in contrast to the world's view.' Christian families will benefit from studying these characters with these comprehensions to realize the vital role God has for women in the life and mission of the church."" --Rich Powell, author of 7 WORDS that can CHANGE YOUR LIFE ""Renate Reiner incorporates a contemporary voice, lively style, and deeply personal examples to relate to today's women readers. Well-researched historical background, pre-reading guidelines, and chapter discussion questions make Women Who Shaped the World an ideal book for both Bible study groups and independent learners."" --Diane Jones Skelton, author of A Literary Traveler's Guide to the Gulf South ""With unwavering biblical faithfulness and heartfelt humility, Renate Reiner examines the lives of thirteen women of Scripture that God used to impact their families, their communities, and their nation. This compelling Bible study will not only challenge your perspective on women's roles in the church but also inspire you to embrace a life of faithful service to God."" --Bruce Burkholder, director, Editorial EBI
