Praying with Women of the Bible for 30 Days: A Bible Study Guide

What do the lives of these women from Scripture teach us about different forms of prayer?

From Eve to Esther, from Mary Magdelene to Martha, the women who appear in the pages of the Bible offer us essential (sometimes hidden) lessons on who God is, who we are, and how we--as women--communicate with our Creator.

This 30-day Bible study is an intimate journey into the lives of named and unnamed women in Scripture who brought their real needs to a real God. Author and prayer leader Sherry Harney brings you a fresh and deeply personal way to connect with their stories.

Each day includes:

• A short Bible reading focused on one woman's story.
• Her Need: A closer look at what she brought to God.
• My Need: Personal reflections that connect her story to yours.
• Our Prayer: A prayer exercise to guide your time with God.

Praying with Women of the Bible for 30 Days will help you reflect on many prayer styles by showing how biblical accounts of women in different circumstances spoke to God. You'll be encouraged by the examples we are given in Scripture of women who went before us and share in our common needs for prayer and communion with a holy and gracious God.
