Women in the Bible are sometimes hidden among the more popular stories of male faith heroes. This study uncovers women’s stories and assures us that strong, courageous, and persistent women were active throughout the biblical story. They sought justice, spoke truth, and witnessed to God’s love for all. They are models who encourage and challenge us today.

Courageous Women of the Bible, commissioned by Mennonite Women Canada and Mennonite Women USA, is recommended for women’s gatherings, Sunday school classes, retreats, or individual reading and inspiration.

Twelve sessions consider women in the Bible who persevered in the face of hardship and injustice, and a concluding thirteenth session presents a worship service.

Copies available in late Spring 2013

“Let Justice Roll Down”

Women Engaging the World

By Rebecca Seiling

Throughout the prophetic books of the Bible, a steady drumbeat can be heard: return to God’s ways, remember who you are, seek justice. These calls are persistent, and not without harsh words of coming judgment. Amos, whose name means “burden bearer,” carried a message of warning to the Israelite people.

Let Justice Roll Down, commissioned by Mennonite Women Canada and Mennonite Women USA, is ideal for women’s gatherings, Sunday school classes, retreats, or individual reading and inspiration. Twelve sessions examine the book of Amos and topics such as the prophetic voice, the church’s witness in the world, consumption and generosity, and the relationship between worship and justice.

“Wonderfully Made”

Women, Faith and Self-Care

By Terri J. Plank Brenneman

“To offer good and healthy care to others, we need to nurture and replenish ourselves, our primary resource,” writes Terri J. Plank Brenneman in her preface to this Bible study.

Wonderfully Made provides careful study that validates the importance of personal wholeness. As the author shares wisdom learned from her journey with infertility, readers will connect their own life experiences with sound scriptural and psychological principles helpful in self-care.

Commissioned by Mennonite Women USA and Mennonite Women Canada, Wonderfully Made is a beautifully written gift for women’s gatherings, Sunday school classes, retreats, or individual reading and inspiration.

Terri J. Plank Brenneman is a clinical psychologist residing in Goshen, Indiana. She holds a doctoral degree from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, as well as a master’s in theology and a master’s in marriage and family therapy.
