Way too basic and elementary. States the obvious
This book had good intentions, but I found the text to be too basic and elementary. I was somewhat disturbed when she talked about telling her daughter her hair was a bird's nest, etc. It seemed a little hurtful for a young child.

I liked the premise and the idea behind the book, but the execution was not very insightful or well thought out.

Easy read
This is great easy read bible study.It has very few pages per Chapt which makes it easy to read on a daily basis in a busy life!Any woman could relate this study and I would recommend it

Hard to put down!
I really liked this bible study, I do them on my own and enjoy the quiet time studying.Thought provoking questions, that can make you think before you act, shouldn't the bible do that anyways? To give you an example to pursue peace in our lives, we need to make decisions in our lives that will bring about peace in the future. Another chapter when we take on less its then easy to take on more and get overwhelmed again, we need to pray first before we take on more.

okay for individuals
I think this study would be fine for an individual but it is a bit light for a group study.I'm a fan of the Women of Faith organization, however, I was a bit disappointed in the content. There could have been so much more. ... Read more

Product Description
- Study notes with over 150 quotes from Women of Faith speakers and over 35 worship hymns and songs will inspire women and help them experience authentic joy in life as they learn to trust God.- Full-page character studies of women from the Bible reveal how God has worked through their lives.- 52 Bible studies for use by individuals or small groups identify biblical truths that women can relate to and apply to their lives.Amazon.com Review
Women of Faith Study Bible offers a feminine perspective on an age-old text. In numerous places, the editors insert interpretations that celebrate and elevate women's status in the Bible. "Some have said that in times when men are spiritually weak God uses women instead," the editors write in the Book of Samuel. "It is probably more accurate to say the deeds and faith of women are simply more apparent in those times. For the Lord gives gifts and callings to all people."

In the opening pages readers will find a "Weekly Studies Index" that references the Old and New Testaments with metaphorical themes such as "Uncharted Waters," "Are You a Bush or a Tree?" and "Jars of Clay." It also offers almost 80 full-page "Character Sketches" that profile women from the Bible, such as "Eve, Mother of Discontent," "Jezebel--Bent on Evil," and "Noah's Wife: Along for the Ride or a Partner in Adventure?" (The latter sketch tries to imagine the thoughts and actions of this almost invisible wife: "Perhaps she resented all the extra work Noah's obsession caused.") Other features include a timeline of women in the Bible, a genealogy of Jesus, and a dictionary of biblical terms.

One disappointment is the thin paper stock, limiting its shelf life and making it fragile for a daily reader. Fortunately, the 13-page spread of full-color maps is printed on heavy stock paper. --Gail Hudson ... Read more

AWFUL
I wouldn't know how the product is because I never got it! I am very upset....i t supposedly got lost in the mail. Now I probably won't order from amazon ever again.

Every woman just starting to read the Bible should purchase this book....
Everyone should own a Bible. This particular Bible is easier to read, follow, and understand. I recommend this Bible for every woman no matter what age, that's focusing on God's word more closely for the first time. I also gave this Bible as a gift to my cousin and she loves it as well.

Great Study Bible for Women!
I have to agree with many of the other reviews on this...the pages really are thin.The content, however, is so good that I don't mind the thin pages.I have been looking for a study bible that does more than reference other pages.This gives good background and explanations in addition to telling more about the women in each section than you will find most other places.

Product Description
"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."Genesis 1:27

Although we're all created in His image, it's no secret that God created men and women differently. He formed a woman's heart to connect with Him in special ways. That's why The Woman's Study Bible has been a valuable and trusted resource for women for over ten years. It speaks to a woman's heart, with special notes and features appealing to women's interests, highlighting women throughout Scripture, and capturing the unique ways Christ cared for women. Now with a beautiful new design and even more effective study notes and features, including new articles on Bible study by respected women such as Anne Graham Lotz, Nancy Leigh DeMoss, and Stormie Omartian, The Woman's Study Bible, Second Edition, is a priceless treasure, poignantly delivering the Word of God to a woman's heart. ...

Great bible
This bible is a great bible for women!! It has some lovely quotes to let women know just how much a part of that history we were involved in..

I love my devotion time with this Bible!!
I received this Bible for Christmas...and I LOVE it! I have always been more of an NIV kind of girl, but I am really getting into reading this BIble like "a book". What I mean by that is, I have always had to use devotional books to help me be able to get into reading the Bible. But with this NLT version I have read all of Genesis already, and it has kept my attention and I can't wait to read more the next night. I still like to use the NIV to go along with my devotional books and while listening to the Pastor's sermon...but prefer this book for "reading". I recommed this Bible to any woman who is struggling with understanding or getting into BIble reading. It has changed the whole way I look at the Scriptures! I understand some people have a problem with the NLT because it is not the closest version to the original translation...but this is how I look at it: It is getting people to read the BIble that could not understand it before. Reading this version of the BIble is better than not reading any version at all, eh?
On a side note, I really enjoy the "devotional tracks" that can be found through out this Bible. It works reat for daily devotionals, and looking to seek out more information on a particular issue.

Daily Study BIBLE for Women
The book is easy to understand and breaks down in ways that assists me in reading.

Easiest Bible I ever read!
I have tried several times to stick with a reading program to get through the bible cover to cover, and this is the only one that actually makes me want to keep reading on.I try to do one or two pages of 'devotion/study' a day, and sometimes it's really hard to put it down!It is very well written, current and easy to understand and the track it walks is so relevant and simple!I love this bible - it is my favorite one yet!

Great reading.

This one-year devotional program offers contemporary Christianwomen a chance to study the lives and legacies of 52 women inScripture.

Great for Devotions
This is an amazing book that highlights the women of the Bible. Too often these women are overlooked in sermons and Bible studies. I love learning about the details of their lives and how they shaped their world. Must have for private devotions or great for groups too. I think men should read it and get a better scoop on the women of the Bible.

The book was in excellent condition with dust cover.Timely delivery and had no problems.Thank you and would buy from again.

Ladies' Class Review
Our Ladies' Bible Class was looking for a book to use for our Tuesday morning class. We looked at several different books, and decided on this one.We have loved it! We had just lost our previous teacher to cancer, and we all decided to step up and participate more.Each week we announce who the next teacher and subject will be.It has proven to really be a blessing.Everyone seems to have their favorite Bible woman and we have seen our ladies come forth and teach who normally would never have been in this capacity.

women of the bible-speaks to women today
Women of the Bible: A One-Year Devotional Study of Women in ScriptureA One-Year Devotional Study of Women in Scripture]]This year long daily devotional speaks to women living in today's world.Done either as a group study, as I am doing, or as an individual study I find this book provides a way to look at and learn from the women of scripture. It is a way to improve relationships today by understanding the past. My group comes together having read Monday and Tuesday pages; which look at the biblical woman's story as well as some information about the cultural times she lived in; to focus on the Wednesday page of each of the women studied. That day digs into the scripture and and discussion questions. The group grew dramatically through a newspaper article which for me demonstrated the relevancy for this type of study today.There are an additional 8 women, unable to attend the group, using the book.They have provided me with feedback that it works well as a personal devotional by providing them with inspiration and encouragement in their daily life.

A great study about and for women...
We choose this study as a group and are very happy with the results.We have found that the individual studies have found us wanting to know more about these women and their lives.We have researched the influence of their faith and the mores of their time in history. We are looking forward to a year long study that gives us all an enrichment of our own lives and our faith. ... Read more

don't buy the Kindle version
I bought this for the Kindle thinking it would be the same. It is not a good fit for the Kindle. First of all, it is a workbook, so now you need to have a place to write the answers in. The second problem is that it was not formatted correctly in the Kindle version. Sentences are interrupted by titles. Foot notes are on the wrong page.And good luck trying to find the appendixes! I had to search by the word appendix as there is no table of contents. Overall, I think this is a great book and has a lot of good points. I just would recommend the print version, not the electronic.

Woman of Grace
Great book written by a conservative, devout Catholic.I'm going to look for more of her books after reading this one!

Good Book For Married Women
I started off trying to read her book about virtue but couldn't get into it and switched to this one. Must easier to read although I did not understand some of the questions. It did open my eyes to some things I was missing and even though I am middle aged and have been married for over 30 years I really got some good out of it. My only complaint was all the flipping back and forth looking up bible verses. Those need to be in better order and not the same verses over and over. I also skipped over the section about raising kids since it was too late for me.

I would say this is a great book for young married women.

Bible Study Review
This is an excellent book for a Catholic women's small group.It has thought-provoking questions and can lead your group into deeper discussions.

Infantalizing pablum.
I was completely disappointed with this book. I felt it was infantalizing, directed at women who had little knowledge of the Bible, the role of women, etc. I felt I was being talked down to. My opinion is that a Bible study written for a specific audience or on a specific topic should go beyond the beginner level. In other words, in seeking a Bible study for married women, I wasn't seeking a kindergarden-level Bible course; I was seeking something that would help me, as a Bible reader/prayer of many years, to home in on the Bible's inspiration and guidance specifically for married women. I found the questions uninspiring, and the fill-in-the-blank format to be juvenile. The questions were so superficial that they weren't remotely thought-provoking or challenging. I agree with another reviewer who said that this book assumed that you have a "certain kind" of Catholic husband, or a "certain kind" of past. In that sense, it was judgmental and excluding, and not helpful. I don't know why everyone thinks they need to publish; the world could have easily done without this book. I'm sorry if this sounds like sour grapes, but I feel this book had nothing to offer to a person who has read he Bible even once, and who is seeking answers to difficult situations, rather than coming from the idyllic Catholic marriage/family situation. ...

Women of the Bible
The book was in good condition.It was just as described in the write-up.I was pleased.

Let's change the lives of Women
This book allows you to search the scriptures and find lives of women in the past who are going through many of the same situations or circumstances that we do today. What they did to become victorious and continue living in a man's world is amazing. Their names have continue to be recognized for 2000+ years.

Great Women's Bible study book!
I ordered this book for our Women's Bible study (we're called the Bible Babes!) and I will warn you - if you are thinking about ordering this book for the same purpose I HIGHLY recommend it but DO NOT recommend the workbook. I ordered the book and received the workbook instead by mistake and thought maybe I would keep it as a supplement to the book but after comparing the two they are identical. The only difference is that the workbook has LESS information, Bible readings & discussion questions than the book (why pay close to the same price for less?). I did like how the workbook had lines for your notes, but I am happy to keep a spiral if it means that I have more verses to read and questions to discuss. I HIGHLY recommend this book! (and do NOT recommend the workbook) Hope this avoids going through the trouble I went through. Enjoy it!! (By the way Amazon- I'm still waiting for a refund on the workbooks I returned...)

this book was full of good information but it has 3 mistakes in it for example it sent you to a bible verse that didn't match the subject..

Great book!
I ordered this for our prayer group as our first bible study and I'm so happy with it!I wanted something not "too deep" but very applicable to real life issues.This is great for us!The chapters are not too long so it's easy to complete.I'm just thrilled with it!!

Enjoyable
I am reading this book with a group of young women.I'm thrilled to see lots of pointing to scripture (be prepared for a bible drill) with a mix of stories that help relate the subject matter.Good for any busy woman who is concerned about how her time is spent.

Product Description
This anthology introduces students to the modern period's history of key ideas related to sexual difference, gender, race, class, and sexuality. While most introductory Women's Studies textbooks focus on the United States, even if they add multiculturalism to the discussion, this book looks at women in diverse locations around the world and encourages students to think about gender in a transnational rather than a purely U.S. context.The selections provide students in the U.S. with a way to understand points of view from other locations and cultures, especially crucial in the post-9-11 geopolitical situation.

The transnational approach to understanding gender brings Women's Studies into an era of globalization by connecting women’s issues in the United States to women’s issues elsewhere. The book shows how colonialism and imperialism, as they spread across the world, shaped ideas about gender as much as other modern phenomena. It addresses issues of power and inequality by focusing on historical connections rather than solely on commonalties.

The readings are truly interdisciplinary, drawing upon scholarly work in many disciplines and interdisciplinary fields as well as non-scholarly sources. Short essays introduce each of the book’s four sections, explaining the concepts and ideas behind the selection of readings. ... Read more

An Introduction to Womens Studies:Gender in a Transnational World
What can i say Except this book was Amazing! I decided to take a Women's Studies Class at The University of Houston,and my professor had assigned this book. By the end of the semester we had finished the entire thing. All the topics exposed in it are eyeopening, and intriguing. I highly recommend this one especially if you're into any controversial topics and want to read up on some of them. Its a great read especially because its divided into specific topics. Although it is geared towards a "classroom read" Its just a great discussion book.

horrible
the book was in horrible condition almost every page had highlighting and it had book dents all over it.

Intro to Women's Studies
This book was a good introduction to Women's Studies, especially for those who have never taken a class or major in Women's Studies. The format of the book made it easy to understand concepts introduced in the essays. They even have a key terms section, which I found VERY helpful. Some of the essays can be dense, like the one going over intersectionality. Overall, I found this book very pleasant to read. ... Read more

Overall Great Bible
This is a really good bible. It has tons of devotionals, reading plans, and interesting tidbits about bible history. My only complaint is that the pages are thin...but that is to be expected. Other than that I LOVE IT!!! It's Definitely a keeper!!!

MUST HAVE FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN
I absolutely LOVE this Bible. I bought it for myself a few years ago. IMMEDIATELY after receiving and looking it over, I got one for my sister. I told my book club about it and every other woman I know. My best friend and Godsister both went out to get one and LOVE IT! Every chance I get I promote it. It's a GOD SEND! The positive messages throughout the Bible for black women are uplifting. The comparisons between the women of the Bible and the lives of black women today are incredible. I have tried many times to read the Bible cover to cover without success. With this Bible, I have completed that goal. This Bible brought me closer to God and strengthened my faith. I can't imagine my life without it.

Awesome
I love the way this Bible is broken down.It has helped me understand a lot. Worth buying.

wonderful!
Most of the bibles that I have come in contact with have been hard for me to understand. This is the best bible I have ever owned.I now have a more clearer understanding of God's word.It was worth the money I paid for it.It is a very nice-looking bible.A must have to anyone who needs the word (like me) in simpler terms!

A Wonderful Bible Study Guide for Women
We recently started a Women's Bible Study group in our parish.We searched for a Catholic bible study guide that we could use along with the Bible and "Catechism of The Catholic Church".We started using "Courageous Love" by Stacy Mitch and it has worked out great. There are other books in the Courageous Studies for Women series that we plan to use when we complete this one.

Great book for a women's study!
We have used this book for our Women's Book Study this year, covering one chapter per month.It has been a wonderful source for learning, faith sharing, and growing in love with our families, our selves, and those around us.Highly recommended for group study or individual!!!

Awesome study that involves scripture, Catechism, and Saints
If you are looking for a complete bible study (that's not just for woman) this is the book... It pulls in scripture, the cathechism of the Catholic Church, Saints writings, and future Saints writings... There are 8 woman in my group -- we meet every other week and take about 1 1/2 hours to go through 3 questions.Most chapters have about8 or 9 questions... You can do it on your own, too...

For Catholic women!
It's wonderful to find a women's Bible Study out there written specifically for Catholics.There are some good Protestant ones out there, but their "slant" is not always close to the Magisterium's.Besides, where apart from a Catholic Bible study are you going to find comments that include the sacred tradition, Mary, and the Magisterium?Highly recommended for women at any stage in their life who are wondering about holiness, their faith, and trying to draw closer to God.

Enlightening!
I searched quite a bit for a bible study for women that would meet the needs of my Catholic faith.I first purchased this book for my own personal use.Each lesson builds on the prior lesson and includesscriptural passages and assigned readings.Each lesson is more thoroughthan I had thought, but not overwhelming or extraordinarily time consuming. Time is a critical factor for most women, and this seemed to be justright.After joining a Catholic Motherhood Prayer Group, I was approachedabout putting a Bible Study together...I pulled this book out and submittedit to 23 other women for their review.All of them unanimously voted to goforward with this, and our local priest and spiritual director wasimpressed with the contents.It was decided that the group would use thisbook for the Bible Study.It was thorough, complete, accurate, wellorganized and easily managed. ...

I'm in love..
Buy this bible. You will not regret it. It is loaded with extra articles, charts, tables, and other references that assist you in understanding the word, how it relates to women, and how you can apply it to your life. I am delighted by the beautiful blue floral designed cover. The colors of the binding and cover are very contemporary. I do wish that the binding were a little thicker, but the book still seems sturdy. I am giving copies to my mom, mother-in-law, and sister.

Beautiful Bible
I bought this as a gift for my sister after researching many other bibles and she is pleased with it so far.Cost was less than our local Christian Book Store and I received it on time for her birthday.

Beautiful!!!
This is probably, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful bibles I have ever owned. It came very quickly-wonderful shipping. The pages are just so full of wonderful things. To any woman who is in awe of what God has done in the lives of women, this bible is a must read. With captions and small paragraphs relating to various women throughout the Holy Word. So fascinating!!!

beautiful experience
Beautiful cover, easy to read (NKJV), includes important info about each book of the bible (date written, author, audience, etc.), full of interesting footnotes which often help clarify difficult subjects/terms, thorough subject index, and lots of study boxes that address certain topics (e.g. marriage, prayer, depression, hope, etc.) which is my favorite thing about this bible, as it helps me to apply concepts to my daily/personal life... truly a bible "experience" :)

Best bible for women
There is nothing more special towoman than a bible that will fit her needs. I've bought countless bibles, also one's for women, but they proved to be too sappy and not dealing the issues of women in depth and discernment.
I started reading the Student Bible as a new christian over 12 years ago and have never felt comfortable reading another study bible other than with the Woman's Study Bible. Now that I am married, entering the life of having her own family, dealing with new issues of being a woman, striving to be the wife, daughter, woman that I want to be in God's eyes in spite of all the stress and pressure, this is a very SOUND book. I love it and will always treasure it for the years to come.
For this model particularly, the blue cloth covered front is flexible. It looks like it is a flexible board underneath the cloth. the spine and the back are covered with faux leather, also flexible. It is not made of thick faux leather but it feels comfortable in the hands.
There is a presentation page, a Ketubah Marriage Contract form, and various family information pages that you can write on. It has beautiful paper too. The bible pages are thinner than that of the Zondervan's, but still look sturdy. The text font is very readable. I'm only 31 but i can see how this will make even older eyes comfortable to read without squinting. The study notes on each page are great, they are at a narrower font and slightly smaller, but still readable. The special notes are very helpful as well.
All in all this is a really great bible for women, the best that I have seen so far, and I've seen a lot. If you are into sober messages, a look into the history of things and lots of study notes, an Index, a Concordance and 9 full colored maps, this is THE book for you. ... Read more

Valuable Insights on Being YOU
As a veteran of many, many studies over the years, this is one the best study guides I have ever completed.

This twelve lesson book is in a harcover format with spiral binding. This makes it portable and convenient.

Each lesson consists of an inspirational reading, questions for personal reflection, questions from the Bible, "Digging Deeper" scripture activity, "Ponder and Pray" reflection questions and a "Bonus Activity."

Each lesson takes about 20 minutes to complete.

This guide covers topics such as playing to your strengths, developing esteem based on who God says you are and not society's opinions, and loving others.

While aimed at a Protestant audience, as a Catholic I found this guide very applicable. This series is terrific at bringing the Bible into 'real life."

excellent
So far it has helped me understand the bible with every day's life approach, with practical concepts.

Experiencing Spiritual Intimacy
This is the next installment of the Women Of Faith studies that my Bible Study Group has chosen to use and we have ordered the last several units from Amazon Books(used) and have been very pleased with the books whave purchased. They have arrived in a timely manner and been in good condition. I will continue to use your service in the future!

Great for personal study or small group
All Christians desire to be spiritually intimate with God.However, we don't always know how to go about that process.We must go deeper than reading the Word, going to Sunday school and being fixtures on the pews during worship service.This study of spiritual intimacy helps you focus on knowing God, receiving His quiet influence, and recognizing His undeniable power.You can get the most from this God inspired study in a group setting.The reflections and lively discussion will persuade, stimulate and rouse you to dig even deeper before the next meeting.If you take the time to study this information, you will definitely be rewarded.

A great study for small groups
Our small group Bible Study really enjoyed going through this book.The discussion questions and answers provided a good perspective to add to our member discussion.

Surface Material
I was disappointed in this study.I felt that the material was disjointed and lacked focus.The questions the study asked were leading and basic.It seemed that numerous questions were looking for pat answers.I read this book solo - maybe it would have helped if I had been part of a study group so the discussion could further the learning.As it stands, though, this book lacks depth and cohesiveness.I wouldn't recommend it.

Good Bible Study series
This series is good forsmall group discussion and some parts make you really take an introspective look at yourself and your life/behavior.Hits different parts of the bible, but mainly NT

Thebest ladies bible study for our small group! very enjoyable.
Our ladies Bible Study at church have enjoyed
The Women of Faith Series.We enjoy meeting once a week to pray and have a couple hours of me time to share our weekly events. We have studied almost every book in the series, I recommend this to any study group that is willing to study and learn about Gods word.
God Bless,

All the gals in the Bible study love this book!
I teach a womens Bible study and knew many of the girls were going through a lot of difficult changes & challenges. I was too. I got this guide to look over and could not put it down. We are doing it as a group now and we all love it. We feel it makes us open up, dig into the Word and discuss issues we as women are afraid to talk about. I highly recommend this to any womens Bible study as an excellent guide!

Poor study material
I have been part of many women's Bible studies in my life.This is definitely not one I would recommend.Although you were asked to look up many verses they didn't fit together or lead you to any conclusions.Verses also didn't really say what the author wanted them to say.Overall, very shallow.There are many studies out there that are of MUCH better quality. ...

My Favorite Bible, But Not This Leather Adition
I really love this Bible, in its original printing. This however is a beautiful Bible, done in leather,but the Font is just plainly hard to read! Im only 39 with fine eyesite, and after a few mintues doing my devotions in this Bible, I can feel eye strain already!

I would recomment the 2nd Adition, but not this small leather bible. The other adition is hard back with a good font. I wish they would re-do this Bibles Font.

The print is too small.
This is a very good NKJV study bible for women.The only thing I don't like is the print is too small.I wish they can have NKJV Woman's Study Bible in large print.

Great Study Bible
I love this Study Bible.I had my first one in the hardback version and just ordered this one.My only concern is it shows in pictures that the Bible is thumb indexed and my copy isn't.Can someone let me know why or at least list of the remaining ones of this kind are thumb indexed?

Thanks!

Almost perfect!
This study bible is wonderful, but I have found two things that would really put it over the top:

1.It should have "red letter" print for the words of Jesus
2.The contrast of the ink (black) and the page (off white) is not strong enough making it difficult for older eyes to read.
