Joyce Landorf's warm insight and wit beckon the modern world to learn from women of the Bible in this collection of short, novel-like portraits. Using "sanctified imagination", she puts herself into the sandals of five women from the Old Testament"

Eve - the first woman

Jochebed - the mother of Moses

Rahab - the prostitute of Jericho

Bathsheba - the woman whose beauty captivated King David

Abigail - a quick-thinking woman who saved her husband's household



From her own experiences as a daughter, wife, mother and grandmother Joyce Landorf projects how these five great women of God might have approached life, its traumas and joys, and how biblical truth fits practically into the whirl of modern living.

This moving series of portraits shines with the author's dream for women today - a dream that sees women functioning at their maximum capacity, yet living within God-given limits as did the five Bible women of this book.
