When Wisdom Speaks Living Experiences of Biblical Women

Female voices of the Bible have been silenced throughout much of history. What would it be like to get to know the women of the Bible as real living figures whose lives can challenge our own? What can we learn from their faith journeys? What would it be like to pray alongside them? Two lively spiritual directors take us into the world of the women of the Bible. Provoked by the desperation of the Canaanite woman empowered by Mary's fiat affirmed by the loyalty of Mary Magdalene and challenged by Ruth's fidelity Doucet and Hebert enter into a new sisterhood with these active and contemplative holy women who emerge out of history. All of the stories link these holy women from the past with contemporary women all of them longing after God's own heart.
