The Women in Jesus’ Life is a good bible study book full of lessons for a group of women to study together (or it can also be used as a study guide on your own). Author Mindy Ferguson encourages the participants to think about the women in Jesus’ life as real women. In reality, we either are like these women or know someone like them.
Women have an important role in God’s kingdom here on Earth, and God has ‘wired’ them differently then men for a reason. Culture during Jesus’ time for women was not like it is for us in North America today. Yet reading and studying about these women Jesus interacted with, through Ferguson’s study, shows that we likely have more in common with them than we think.
The language Ferguson uses in the study is easy to follow. You don’t feel overwhelmed with it at all. She originally wrote the lessons for a group of women who worked in addition to their duties as a homemaker, so the lessons are short, yet still packed with plenty of learning. Once you start, it isn’t a challenge to keep it up.
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you use this study in a group or on your own. It’s good solid teaching, and based on the Bible.
Ferguson has two other titles that you may want to look into as well; Walking with God: From Slavery to Freedom; Living the Promised Life and Hugs Bible Reflections for Women.
