 | Portraits of Extraordinary Women by Marilyn C. Rougelot, William F. Maestri
This volume paints realistic portraits of twenty-four women of the Bible from a modern-day perspective. All is here to ponder: courage and cowardice; grace and sin; hope and despair; failure and the power to begin anew. These women are models for us all, since they have all the failings of modern men and women and the divine spark that inspires or instructs. Whether through their triumphs or their failings, they all have something to teach us even today. AUTHOR: Marilyn C. Rougelot, William F. Maestri
