More About This Book

Overview

They were ordinary, common, and in some cases shockingly low-caste, yet each was made extraordinary by her life-changing encounter with God.

Readers will be challenged and motivated by Twelve Extraordinary Women, a poignant and personal look into the lives of some of the Bible's most faithful women. Their struggles and temptations are the same trials faced by all believers at all ages. Inside this book, best-selling author and Bible teacher John MacArthur shows that the God to whom they were so committed is the same God who continues to mold and use ordinary people today.

    An Inciteful, Biblical Approach to Womanhood & the Women of the Bible

    This is a Biblical approach to examining various women in the Bible. John MacArthur does a character study of these women within the context of the Bible & God's purpose for women within the church & within the home. Instead of pandering to the popular secular & 'Christian' culture of today, he takes a close look at the godly, scriptural characteristics that makes these women extraordinary. No doubt, he will come under attack by the feminists that are represented within & outside of today's modern church. I highly recommend this book to those who truly desire to see Biblical womanhood through the principals in the Bible.

    A wonderful read

    John MacArthur goes into much detail about each of these Biblical women, and gleans from their lives the secrets of their walk with God. The beauty of it, is that these women were all living their lives as normal in their time, and He describes how God fulfilled His purpose for them. The result is a lasting legacy written in His Word. A wonderful read!

    I loved it I couldn't put it down. I love relating to women in the bible and feeling like, 'God used her? then he can use me.' and how exciting it was to see what a vital role these women played in Gods divine plan.

    Anti-Catholic Rhetoric

    This books Anti-Chatholic comments regarding Mary, The Mother of God is completely false and misleading as to Catholic Doctrine and Tradition, so all Catholic Faith Study groups avoid at all costs as well as anyone who wants to hear the truth. Protestant's please be aware that this chapter is incorrect and misleading. The chapter has nothing to do with the books subtitle...'How God Shaped Women of the Bible and What He wants to Do with you'. The author's comments from page 108...'Various extrabiblical religious traditions and many superstitious minds have beautified Mary beyond what is reasonable....A long tradition of overzealous souls throughout history have wrongly exhalted her to godlike status.' He then refers to the extreme gullibility about apparitions of Mary sometimes rise to comical proportions and then makes a reference to the Grilled cheese sandwich on e-bay with was described as having an image of Mary etched into it. Not exactly a quality book.

    i can only hope this is the worst book i will ever read.

    i cannot fathom there being another book in existence that is worse than this one. ... i can sum up the vast majority of this book in one word: UNSUBSTANTIATED. as far as geographical and archaeological facts, and church ritual and history, i have no disputes. however, in my opinion, the remainder of the book [i.e. THE TOPIC] is by and large a fanciful extrapolation of what macarthur THINKS and ASSUMES what these extraordinary women SHOULD be. macarthur has extracted the biblical accounts of these twelve women and created twelve chapters of fabricated nonsense, with no citations, no research, no evidence, and nothing remotely resembling a concrete reason for his blatant assumptions. he has attempted to fit these beautiful women into a box that exists only in his own mind. ... macarthur takes away the respect and the power and the beauty of these women, and leaves the reader with nothing but a superficial shell of these heroes of the faith. you get the feeling he is writing [and i use that term loosely] with either an air of contempt that God would dare use the 'weaker sex' in his kingdom or with a condescending pat on the head to women everywhere, a sort of 'there, there, now, isn't this a nice little book for you girls? now go off and play in the kitchen' air. ... and the writing. OH, THE WRITING. the editors, the publishers, the typists, the people in the mailroom, EVERYONE was sleeping on this one. i lost count of the times the words 'of course,' 'obviously,' 'naturally,' and all derivatives thereof were used before i finished the first chapter. grown adults writing publishable material should not have to rely on such sad measures to prove their points. ... obviously. ... this book is a disservice to women, to the Church, to Christendom. the only positive comment i have about this horrific piece of writing is that it certainly creates discussion for our women's small group.

    Great Book!

    I was very surprised when I read the reviews for this book. I actually found this book to be very inspirationsl and helpful. I've actually started reading it for the second time. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course, but when you find a book that works best for you I say you use the information presented to benefit you in whatever way you can.

    Disappointed in this book

    This book was written from the author's own biased opinion. He clearly has an opinion on what a woman's role should be and only praises women when they fit into this mold. Women are to be beautiful, dutiful, submissive and subordinate. If they do not fit into this traditional mold they are then shrews, nags and manipulative bottom dwellers (his discriptive terms of Sarah and Rahab). While he occaisionally brought out a finer point about someone that you may have missed in a general reading of a story he frequently defeated his purpose in educating you by his unfortunate and derogatory choice of words. If you read this book I strongly suggest you have another book about women in the Bible as a companion reader. You will need this in order to get a more balanced picture of the women he describes.
