Synopsis

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! The women of the Bible lived timeless stories—by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith. People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. 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. 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. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us. From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys. The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.

Goodreads review by hannah ☆ ୨ৎ˚࿔ on August 11, 2021

This was one of my favorite Christian living / Christian non-fiction books! It seems like so many Christian books these days are too focused on the self instead of on Jesus. This book is just the opposite! This book dives right into the stories of women in the Bible and focuses on their interactions......more

Goodreads review by Abby on February 26, 2025

This book was UNBELIEVABLE. I used it as more of a devotional. The Bible has some incredible women of faith and she does a really good job of portraying them and their faith. It’s such a powerful reminder of how God uses different people across different timelines.......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on July 27, 2021

I thought this sounded like an interesting book, but when I got the book and saw the "Fox New Books" label I almost didn't read it. But, I figured I would give it a try. Shannon Bream is a Fox News anchor and chief legal correspondent, but nowhere does she give any theological or Biblical background......more
