Real Women of the Bible

I just started a Women Meet Women study group and started by giving the scripture references to study ahead of the meeting. At the meeting, I was quoting from Paul Kelm's book about Mary and Martha and they all decided they would like the book. I now have given out 13 books, so I ordered more!! We studied Deborah from the book and scripture passages and really enjoyed Kelm's attitude toward women in the church.

I borrowed this book from a "sister", then ordered 4 more for myself and daughters. Have read other "women of the Bible" books, and feel that this one opened many new thoughts and truths not considered. Thank you.

I am enjoying the book and Dr. Kelm's writing. I'm comparing it to "Women of the Bible" by Jean Syswerda, which was used in Bible class in the past. I met the Kelm's some time ago when they visited my church (St. Mark's, Citrus Heights, CA.) when his son and wife were members here. Rev. Kelm is in my family tree on my mother's side.

I so enjoyed reading the book. It expanded my knowledge of the work of women in the Bible. I was aware of some of their work, and yet I learned many facts to share with others.

I learned many things I hadn't known before - very interesting.
