Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds Paperback – July 31, 2014

I used this book as the foundation for a Biblical literacy class I was teaching for women in my church. Jen is a great writer and the format of this book makes understanding the Bible easy to follow. She also has great accompanying videos on Youtube that go along with the book. Highly recommend for Bible study leaders as well as anyone who wants to dig deeper into personal Bible study!

This is by far the best book I’ve found that helps me properly study the Bible. I’ve felt so confused at times trying to study the Word, and this lays it all out so clearly. Thank you so much for writing this book Jen Wilkin, finally something I can understand and a process that makes sense!

This book came as a recommendation, I don’t know what I was expecting, but I think I must have had some expectations because it far exceeded the unknown of the book and is blowing my mind, literally. I underline and highlight and write and almost all of my books, but I didn’t want to start by doing that in case it was a flop and I returned it after reading a few pages, well I’m on page 33 and now I need to start back at page one, because well, my highlighter is probably gonna run out of ink. 😉 it’s really good ladies and it will cause you to think and rethink. I’m really looking forward to starting again at page 1 and digesting all of what Jen is challenging me to, and of coarse drawing all these nuggets into a deeper relationship with my Savior. 😊💜🙌🏼

bought tis for a study with a group I belong to. Like it!!

I've taught a class using this book and it was very impactful for the ladies. It's easy to read and helps you understand ways to approach the bible as well as ways not to. Ultimately, the bible is a book about God. Get this and read it with a friend!

Of course, like any other human, I don't personally agree 100% with everything the author has to say; However! It is a good book and has been helpful. The author is very thoughtful and it's a good book to go thru if you feel like you might be stuck in a bit of a rut during devotional time. For that reason I'd recommend it. :)

This gave me good ideas on how to study my bible better. I have as already started using them. Thanks.

I'm learning to accept books written by women. A women myself, and someone searching for the deep truths of Scripture, I have noticed without trying to be skeptical, that I was tired of hearing the same "women-like" narrative in bible studies and topical books written by women. I didn't know how I wanted to be address as a woman seeking Christ but I knew what I didn't want. This is the first book I've read by a woman instructing other women and may I say, I knew by the first chapter(it was actually sooner than that) that this book was different. I thought early on that maybe Jen should have picked a different title but having finished the book, it truly captures what she is trying to teach.I want to write more about the book, but I think I would just mess it up. I'm thankful for this book and how it has shown me to appreciate and value more women teaching other women. I'm also very thankful for the specific instruction in how to study Scripture methodically. I had started studying this way several years ago but it was only as a means to help me dig and remember more of what I was reading. So the specific instruction has helped give me more structure.Again, so much more to say, but lastly I appreciate the teaching chapter. It has helped me see how I would go about teaching Scripture to other woman. The pitfalls were helpful as well pointing out the very things that I sensed in previous books by women but couldn't explain. Things I didn't want apart of my study of Scripture. This book was a healthy model of what it is to be a "woman of the word".
