Women of the Bible

Ann Burton, author of the critically acclaimed Abigail's Story, traces Rahab's incredible journey from harlot to heroine. Shorn of her hair, stripped of her clothes, and cast out of her father's house, Rahab now scavenges the streets. Desperate for food, she's soon welcomed by the sisterhood of the House of Palms, a bordello. But after encountering two Israelite spies, Rahab makes a risky, life-altering choice.

Ann Burton, acclaimed author of Jael's Story, creates enthralling historical fiction by skillfully inter - weaving authentic elements of biblical history, culture, and geography. Deborah's Story is the gripping saga of one female slave who risks her life for a chance at true love-and rises to unimaginable prominence. It's an inspiring tale of developing wisdom, courageous faith, and blossoming love.

Ann Burton-best-selling author of Rahab's Story-pens a sweeping historical novel about the Biblical heroine who risks all by wielding a tent peg and mallet. In this compelling tale of faith, courage, and romance, Jael boldly seizes a pivotal opportunity to free Israelites-and herself-from years of oppression.

As we read the Bible, whether it is The New International Version or the Old King James Version or a Bible written in a different style of language you get your own message. We get our own message and we also make our own interpretations of what we have read. In this publication I would like to share some QUOTES from the women of the Bible. These quotes are taken from my previous publications, Bible Study of Women for Women Through the Scriptures. I studied most of these women and I thought it was important to learn some of their quotes to Make Them Famous that is why I wrote Make Them Famous Women of the Bible. Now this is part of a series on Women of the Bible. These quotes are all from the Bible and included with the quote is the reference to the place in the Bible where you can find the quote. This is a revised edition. I made a few changes, edited in a few places and added some humor and a short poem. I wish that we could memorize some of these quotes and share them with others. Memorizing these quotes will honor the women they came from. At the end of the publication I share the most popular quotes hoping that you could cut the quotes out . I used double spacing so you could cut them out. Please share them with friends. I carry them around and I do find some people who are Christians as am I and it connects us, brings us together with a common thread. Keep these cut outs or share them. I believe we are spreading the lessons in Jesus Christ's ministry. Jesus was my inspiration because He respected and honored women. Did you know some of the chosen books of the Holy Bible were written by women? Some books were kept like the Book of Ruth and Esther, others were not. Jesus wanted to show us how women are to be respected, loved and honored. I pray we expand our knowledge about the women of the Bible. I believe in God the Father, I believe in Jesus Christ our Messiah, and I believe in the gift of the Holy Spirit. I encourage you to carry the message, we as women.
