Once again Sue McGeown has brought the characters of the Bible to life, allowing us to admire them and scorn them, and most importantly, learn from their mistakes, trials and triumphs, all the while examining our own life’s journey.  The book is a history book, a novel, a workbook, and a love letter from God.  You will most assuredly know God and yourself better and love God and yourself more as you turn that last page.

It was great to go through this book and have the author as leader but don’t let that stop you from buying the book.  These are stories many of us are very familiar with – some are very sad but at the same time there can be humor in the stories we don’t always see.  Many times there is a different perspectives we fail to consider.  This is a wonderful study to give you that different point of view.  We found it worked especially well in our women’s group.

easily breathes life into each character as their personal stories unfold. You do get your Bible out and check to see if what you are reading is actually in the Bible. Each woman had her own Biblical history, and Sue placed a rare twist on each woman's story that allowed you to really get to know them. My hat goes off to this gifted writer that has a special flair of expression, mixing all these facts and presenting them in such an easy and enjoyable read. This book is a fabulous read for a small group, where women and men alike can learn more about the Biblical women and in which discussion would flow easily.

I have read several of Sue’s books and enjoyed them all. As I was reading Biblical Women, I felt as if I were part of each woman’s journey. Sue writes in such a way that brings these women to life, and you find yourself struggling with their situations and being vindicated right along with them. I enjoy most the way Sue “writes as she speaks,” making the story both uplifting and fun to read.
