The “Food for Thought” section at the end of each chapter is exceptionally helpful! It helps you hear the questions more deeply that these godly women raised; to raise your own; and discuss them with others. Join your sisters from the church of all ages in taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

—Kathy KellerWe all know it’s important to study God’s word. But sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. What’s more, a lack of time, emotionally driven approaches, and past frustrations can erode our resolve to keep growing in our knowledge of Scripture. How can we, as Christian women, keep our focus and sustain our passion when reading the Bible?
