Rosanne Gartner captures the emotions and thoughts of biblical figures in a series of first-person testimonies, written from the vantage point of 16 women of the Old and New Testaments. Each woman tells her own story in a way that allows you to see clearly her personality traits, social circumstances, and spiritual responses to God. Gartner’s thorough research reveals the cultural climate in which these women lived. Each monologue contains a sophisticated, inspiring, and enlightening message for us today. Judson Press.
