Her servant heart in unpacking the Scriptures as well as her affection for the women she is teaching is evident the moment you meet her. Gloria Furman , author, Labor with Hope and Missional Motherhood Think of this book as a maître d` of a Bible study banquet-have a seat, here are your utensils, dig in, and enjoy.” Read Women of the Word with your Bible open and your friends alongside you. She has tasted and seen God’s goodness in his Word, and she doesn’t want a single woman to miss it. Jen Wilkin knows this mercy in the core of her being. What great mercy we have been shown-that the Creator who spoke everything that ever was into existence would give us his Word. “I’ve seen eyes misty with tears as women come to understand for the first time that the Bible is actually, literally God’s Word. Kathy Keller , Assistant Director of Communications, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City, New York My only caveat is that I wish the title didn’t make it hard for men to read. Women of the Word will help all who read it to find their way deeper into the Word of God without having to be seminary educated, a genius, or even an especially good student. Too many people-men and women-opt for just reading a few verses and hoping for some inspiration, rather than discovering the meaning of the text in the sweep of God’s redemptive plan. “I found Women of the Word to be so practical in the way it demystifies serious Bible study. “Wilkin’s challenges to the status quo, grounded in years of observation, ring with gentle wisdom and guide readers in how to study the Bible with greater depth.” (July 14, 2014)
