Synopsis

With profound insight, Dandi Daley Mackall makes the connections between the lives and faith of the women of the New Testament and contemporary women of all ages. The stories of Elizabeth, Mary, Anna, Mary Magdalene, Salome, Pilate's wife, and others invite meditation and reflection on contemporary issues of life and faith. Ideal for either personal reflection or group study, each story includes biblical references, a prayer, and activities that make New Testament women come alive.

"For a long time I have felt a bond with the women of the New Testament. Although they lived in a different time and different culture, their experiences were not all that different from mine. The New Testament women in this book were affected by Jesus, who understood and cared about each of them....Women are still being transformed by Christ. I have talked with hundreds of such women--kindred sisters--and they are changing the world. Their stories and examples complete the cycle of Christ's transformation."
