Description: What strong women these women of the Old Testament were! The roles that many of them were asked to play were difficult and challenging ones, but they were able to rise to the occasion. If they could not win by frontal assault, they won by charm or conniving. These were not plastic saints whose lives bear ro ressemblance to our own. In spite of the fact that thousands of years separate them from us, they seem as real a s our next-door neighbours. It is because they are so real that they are worth reading and thinking about. There is so much that modern-day women can learn from them. These women are women of destiny. They tell the women of today that they, too, are women of destiny, whatever their path in life may be.
