Description
William Jay presents 22 biographical discourses on various women from both the Old and New Testaments. They represent his reflections “on the importance of female character, and in the influence which women must naturally and necessarily have, in every condition, period, and relation in life.”
Jay pastored a Congregational church in Bath, England, for 60 years. Over those years he studied the lives and actions of numerous women in the Bible. During a period of recovery from a serious illness, he began work on this book. There are chapters on:
* Hannah
* The Poor Widow (who gave her tiny offering, all she had)
* The Samaritan woman (whom Jesus met at the well)
* Mary Magdalene
* The Shunamite Woman
* Lydia
* Dorcas
* Sisters Martha and Mary
* A sobering, concluding chapter on the words "Remember Lot's Wife" --- and many more
The author comments on their character and actions and made numerous applications. In recounting these stories, the author is careful to stay within the bounds of Scripture as he drives home to the reader’s heart points of encouragement, enlightenment, and correction. As each subject is examined, the ultimate focus is on Christ.
As with almost all books by William Jay, it is very useful reading for personal growth or as a tool in family devotions.
