Heroines of the Past Bible Study

An Inspiring Thirteen-Week Virtue Study Celebrating the Noble Deeds of Women and Girls from History! "Who can find a virtuous woman?" the book of Proverbs asks, and then it goes on to describe what a virtuous woman looks like. The Proverbs 31 woman is kind, wise, dependable, generous, compassionate, industrious, dedicated, and loving. Down through the ages, many noble-hearted women and girls have lived up to the standard of a virtuous woman as described in Proverbs. This book is full of them. Two Books in One! This book is both a Bible study and a collection of stories about historical women and girls. Each chapter has a story about a righteous lady from the past, and then a study that digs into God's Word concerning the virtues demonstrated in the story. In this book, girls ages eight and up will meet servant-minded women like Mary Slessor, who worked for Christ as a missionary in Africa. Kindhearted women like Florence Nightingale, who served the sick. And truth-seeking women like Katherine von Bora Luther, who boldly left a convent to follow Christ. Well-known historical women are accompanied by the stories of some lesser-known virtuous women who also impacted history. This thirteen-week study features five daily lessons that could be used as a home study or for a Sunday school class. It would also be a great study for moms and daughters to do together!
