Scripture scholar Elena Bosetti brings the reader to encounter women featured in the Old and New Testaments--Sarah, Miriam, Deborah, The Beloved of the Song of Songs, Abigail, Judith, Esther, Mary, The Samaritan Woman at the Well, Martha, and Lydia--through crafting an insightful and enlightening analysis of these compelling women mentioned throughout Scripture. Readers are guided in lectio divina, or ""sacred reading"", moving from listening, to meditation, to prayer.
