In what can be best described as both story and tutorial, Bream details the lives of eight pairs of women. Unless your a Bible scholar a few of the women listed might not be as recognizable as Sarah, Rachel, Ruth, Esther, and Mary, with Ruth and Esther the only two females to have books named after them among the 66 recorded in the Bible.

Bream suggests that while most of the Good Book centers around men, God in His infinite wisdom, enabled a few choice women, some who flew under the Biblical radar, to be agents of good will, helping the Israelite nation and the early Christian church. Unlike the King James Version of the Good Book, ‘The Women of the Bible Speak’ is an easy to read and insightful chronicle of how God positioned select women throughout the Bible, to bring about His directives. While many stories have been written over the years recalling the trials and tribulations of these men, and countless others, very few books have been written about the courageous women who helped carry out God’s mission statement for His creation.Īlthough she is not the first to recognize the essential roles females played in shaping God’s historic will, Fox News personality Shannon Bream offers up compassionate back stories of several prominent and lesser known Biblical ladies in her most recent book, ‘ The Women of the Bible Speak’ : The Wisdom of 16 Women & Their Lessons For Today’. Fox News’ Shannon Bream’s New Book Showcases Important Roles Of Women In God’s Willįrom Abraham, Moses, Joseph, and King David in the Old Testament, to Peter, Paul, and John the Baptist in the New Testament, the Bible is overflowing with numerous accounts of the brave men who helped shape God’s will, ultimately including His son Jesus Christ the Savior.
