Böcker av Cheryl Elliott

What could be better than curling up with a cup of coffee and a letter from an old friend?From childlessness to wayward children, from disobedience to idol worship, from jealousy to fears to insecurities, we all have issues we struggle tomaneuver through almost daily. This collection of personal letters from some Old Testament Bible-time women is full of their thoughts, their stories, and their lessons learned-often the hard way. We would do well to listen to the advice these Bible-time women have to offer and consider them mentors, helping us along our own life's journey.

What Were You Thinking? . . . . . . Eve, as you tasted the forbidden fruit? . . . Sapphira, as you lied about the money? . . . Mrs. Lot, as you glanced back at Sodom? . . . Hannah, as you left Samuel with Eli? . . . Martha, as you tattled on Mary? What were these women thinking? You might be surprised to learn that these Bible-time women may have had thoughts that would be hard to distinguish from those of modern-day women. In these pages you will meet thirteen Bible-time women through a casual visit in a contemporary, small-group setting. Interviews with these women bring their previously black-and-white lives into vivid, living color as you get to know them more personally and begin to feel their heartstrings tug a familiar pull on your own. Discussion Questions and Leader's Guide included!
